Basic Alfredo Sauce
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ingredients:
1 1/2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
3 cups milk or half & half
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1-2 cloves garlic (mashed)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
| Tip:
If you don't have fresh
garlic, 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder can be substituted for 1 clove garlic.
So, use between 1/8 and 1/4 teaspoons of garlic
powder. |
| Tip:
I often use skim milk to make a low fat version of
the sauce. However the more fat in the milk, the creamier the sauce
will be. Restaurants usually use whole milk, half & half, or a
combination of whole milk and half & half. |
Directions:
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Remove from heat. Stir the flour into the butter. Add a little milk and stir
until the mixture is very smooth; Continue this process until you have added all of the milk and the mixture is smooth.
| Tip:
When cooking milk, always stir it. It burns very
easily. Also, the heavier your pan the easier it will be to not burn
your milk. Always cook on medium heat, not high. |
Add Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring
constantly, on medium heat until desired thickness is reached (remember
that it will thicken a little more after you take it off the stove).
