Homemade Alfredo Sauce Mmm!

There is no other food that I love most then a big bowl of pasta! This recipe is super easy and cheaper then buying jars of sauce or frozen alfredo dinners.

Ingrediants:

*1/2 cup butter or stick margarine
*1/2 cup whipping (heavy) cream
*3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
*1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
Fresh or dried parsley to sprinkle (optional)

Directions:
In your skillet heat butter on medium heat.

Add whipping cream, pepper, salt.

Stirring frequently until the mixture starts to bubble. Reduce your heat to low, continue to stir til thickens.

Turn heat off, add parmesan cheese~
optional is parsley



Once you make this sauce there are many different recipes you can do. Our top 2 favories are chicken alfredo and shrimp alfredo.

To make shrimp alfredo is easy! Heat your skillet with 2 tablespoons of butter..stir to melt. Add your peeled shrimp, the amount is up to you~ We normally cook 1lb of shrimp. Heat your shrimp in the butter til pink..next add pepper and salt. We love fettuccine noodles. Once noodles are cooked just mix in your sauce and shrimp.

For chicken alfredo we use 1lb of chicken. Heat in a pan with water, once no longer pink we like to add, pepper, salt and italian house dressing. If you can grill your chicken! Cut in cubes and add to your noodles.. mix well with your alfredo sauce. We also love broccoli in our pasta and mozzerella cheese!

Blessings,

Yum! Sounds so good and easy to make. I bet you could use half and half in place of the cream to cut some fat and calories. I just may try that :)
