Olive Garden’s Alfredo Sauce

Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons butter, high quality
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1.5 cups milk, any kind
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated and at room temperature
  • ½ cup Romano cheese, grated and at room temperature
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb. Fettuccine
  • Parsley, to garnish

Instructions

  • Boil the fettuccine according to package instructions. As the water preheats, begin the sauce.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
  • Whisk in the flour. Gradually add the heavy cream, then the milk, whisking constantly.
  • Reduce the heat to low once the sauce begins to bubble. It will continue to thicken as it simmers.
  • Slowly sprinkle in the cheeses, continuing to whisk.
  • Drain the pasta and carefully mix it into the sauce until well incorporated. The pasta will absorb the sauce an it will get thicker still.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve!
