Alfredo Sauce (stupidly simple)

[vicki-in-tucson]

I've been looking for a good alfredo sauce for ages, but mine never turn out good. However, I think I finally found a good one. It's from Epicurious--I forget the name of the original recipe, but I extracted the directions for the sauce. So here goes:

Alfredo Sauce

2 cups parmesan cheese (I used grated)

1 2/3 cups whipping cream

Whisk together over low heat. Stir constantly until smooth.

That's it! I was afraid the grated cheese would make it grainy, but I just kept stirring and it became very smooth.

this would be good to post in T&T Stupidly Simple category.

Is that the dry parmesan in the container (Kraft), or fresh grated?

 

[vicki-in-tucson]

I used the dry parmesan in a container (purchased at TJs). I think either is fine.

Yes, I'll post it over there as well. Good thought, thanks!

I ask because I've had horrible results with fresh parmesan - it doesn't meld...

I end up with these gloppy lumps that refuse to blend in, even though I heat gently and stir constantly. Not only am I bread-challenged, I guess I'm alfredo-challenged!

Amanda - have you tried Trader Joe's frozen fettuccini alfredo? It's wonderful!
