Alfredo Sauce

The Real Yeff The Chef's Note:

Let the sauce simmer as long as you can! Cream cheese is optional, I add it to aide in thickening the sauce.

3. Add the Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.

Followed this one exactly and it was the best alfredo I ever had. Thanks

I found this recipe to be closest to my Tuscan grandmere's as mine. Let me share it for the benefit of those who want a real authentic sauce with no fat savers, then you can cut a few corners for shaving calories but I can't guarantee the results. Use the same as Yeff except reduce cream cheese to 1 heaping tbsp, then add to the heating mixture, 1 heaping tbsp of sour cream,1 tbsp olive oil or olive juice, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/8 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tbsp finely chopped Italian parsley. The cheese equal parts Fresh Parmesan and Asiago. ENJOY.
