Pasta Alfredo

Pasta Alfredo is something you can eat bowl after bowl. Honestly I think that about any pasta dish.

While pasta is a pantry staple, heavy cream might not be. If all you have is the premade alfredo sauce, please feel free to use that. In California we are under a Shelter in Place order and unless you are completely out of groceries I would advise against going to the market for just a handful of ingredients.

Let's get started.

Pasta Alfredo Printable Recipe

1 lb. Pasta (any kind you have on hand)

1 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Tbsp. Butter

3 Cloves of Garlic, finely minced

Salt

Freshly Ground Black Pepper

2 Cups Heavy Cream

1 Cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese 

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Make pasta according to the package directions on the box for perfect al dente.

In a medium pot, add in the Olive Oil, butter, and garlic. Stir until fragrant. About 1-2 minutes.

Add in the heavy cream and stir until it starts simmering.

Add in the parmesan cheese a little at a time constantly stirring. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer sauce until it has thickened 8-10 minutes.

Toss the pasta and sauce together and top with additional parmesan cheese and parsley if you have any available.

Serve and enjoy.

*Note: feel free to add sauted chicken, broccoli, sliced onion, if you have any available kids always gobble up veggies when coated with a cheese sauce. Shrimp works great with this sauce too.**
