Well, you didn't ASK for weight-loss suggestions.  You asked for alfredo sauce.  It does take some courage to use heavy whipping cream for  any dish in this health-conscious age , but it sure tastes good.  Enjoy it today.  Worry about your waistline tomorrow!

This is from their site:

Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serving size: 4

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup imported Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup imported Romano cheese, grated
6 egg yolks from fresh jumbo eggs
Salt and black pepper to taste

PROCEDURES
HEAT milk and cream in a heavy bottom saucepan until it begins to simmer.

Turn off heat. Slowly whip in cheese, then remove from heat.

PLACE egg yolks in a separate bowl and slowly whip in a portion of the hot milk and cream mixture. Slowly add egg yolk mixture back into remaining cream mixture. Place back on very low heat and continually stir until simmering. Take sauce off heat so it thickens. (This will increase temperature of egg yolks, known as tempering).

SEASON to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve over your favorite pasta.

Thank you so much for this recipe! And for the info that OG has recipes on their site!

I never even thought that Olive Garden would disclose their recipes on their site, so I never looked.

Most try to keep their recipes 'secret'. That's how Todd Wilbur made a fortune, trying to 'copycat' restaurant recipes!

Thanks for sharing this Recipe. I love Alfredo!

I think dinner will be Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken (or shrimp) & broccoli.

Lots of fresh ground black pepper is also a must!

And, yes I know this is not healthy & should only be eaten occasionally (but its soooooooooooooooo good!!!).

Thank you for the recipes!!!

Alfredo is definitely on the menu coming up as I bought a big jug of heavy cream . . . Y-U-M!!!

First you make a light roux or cream sauce with butter and a small clove of crushed garlic and a little bit of flour and stir about a minute.  Add whole milk, half and half or cream to thicken, when it comes to a boil let it boil just a few seconds and add parm cheese.  Salt.

That's about as close as I get to a recipe.

Don't be afraid. It's one of the easiest sauces to make.  

Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a pan. (I also add grated garlic, but it's fine without it.)

Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper.

When the cream is warm, stir in 3/4 c grated parmesan.

It's that easy.

Yep, this is exactly how it was taught in an Italian cooking class I took. It is delicious and so easy.

I urge you to give it a try.

Alfredo

1/2 cup real butter...DO NOT USE MARGARINE!!!

1 pint (2 cups / 16 fl. oz.) heavy whipping cream

1 tsp. garlic powder but I prefer 1 teasp of minced garlic, sometimes a bit more

salt and pepper to taste

2/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan Cheese

In a 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter; add cream, garlic powder, and salt and peppers; simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick.
Remove sauce from heat and stir in cheese. Do not heat sauce after cheese has been added.
Serve sauce over hot fettuccine noodles and sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

Notes: You can’t rush this sauce, if it seems to be taking too long to thicken, stir in up to 1/4 cup cream cheese. Make sure your Parmesan is grated and not shredded; it won't melt properly if shredded. Do not use Kraft Grated Parmesan in the can; your Alfredo won't taste right. Either grate your own or buy the stuff from the deli. This dish cannot be reheated or made ahead of time; the sauce will separate and appear greasy and curdled

Here is a family favorite

fettuccine Alfredo ~ Angel25

1 stick butter
1 pint heavy cream
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tbls chopped parsley

Sauté garlic until soft, add cream, Parmesan and parsley. Mix over heat until smooth. Cook fettuccine noodles, drain. Mix sauce into the noodles. Serve immediately.
The more garlic the better it is.
