There aren’t a lot of options in the grocery store for Alfredo sauce, and the options that are out there are super expensive (to me at least). I’ve never really been good at sauces so I started to give up when I got a few wrong, but I had a lot of confidence I couldn’t screw this one up so I tried it the other night. It turned out great! It’s really easy, and sort of fun, and you can add whatever sort of spices you want and it seems to just make it better (sort of like a blank canvas for sauces). So give it a try and see if you like it!
1/2 cup Cream Cheese (or sour cream)
1 cup Milk 0-2 %
3 tbsp. Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Clove Garlic
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
3 tbsp. Dry Parsley or 1/2 cup fresh
The best way to make this consistent is to use a blender. Put cream cheese, milk, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper in blender. Blend until there are no clumps, pour into saucepan on medium heat, cook for about 10 minutes (or longer to make the flavour really take!). While cooking add parsley (if fresh chop finely) and save some for garnish.
Have any good ideas, or substitutes for this....share them, leave a comment, I’d love to hear from you!!
I shared this recipe at:
Your Alfredo looks delicious! Have to try this, not a fan of jarred Alfredo!
ReplyDeleteThat just looks so good, and you can veggies and meat to make it a real meal...
ReplyDeleteThat does look good! :) And yes, jarred Alfredo is a big no, no in my book. I made a recipe with cream cheese a long time ago and I wasn't crazy about it. I've not heard of subbing sour cream though. Have you tried it that way?
