Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce

Notes:

To get that taste, let the sauce simmer as long as you can!

Ingredients:

1 pint of Heavy Cream

1 stick of butter

2 Tbsp. Cream Cheese

1/2 - 3/4 C. Parmesan cheese

1 tsp. Garlic powder

Preparation:

In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. Add the Parmesan cheese and Garlic powder. Simmer this for 15 - 20 minutes on low. You may wish to season with a little salt and pepper.

I have done this with half and half, but we prefer the heavy cream. But I wouldn't try it with plain milk.

 
adding cream cheese to cream sauces is an excellent trick to keep them emulsified. cream sauces have the annoying tendency to break if you get too busy tending to something else in the kitchen.

another thing to do for bechamel sauces with cheese (mornay) or any sauce with cheese is to add some lemon juice to prevent the cheese from getting stringy. the parmesan cheese in alfredo sauce loves to get stringy.
