Biaggi's Alfredo Sauce

Deb's Recipes's Note:

From Biaggi's Italian Restaurant in Salt Lake City, this scrumptious alfredo sauce is meant to go with another recipe I submitted: Biaggi's Farfalle Alfredo.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 1.0 quarts

• 1/8 cup butter
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic, puree
• 1/4 cup yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 dash ground nutmeg
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 cup cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3/8 cup fresh-grated parmesan cheese (use a 50/50 blend of Parmesan & Romano cheese if possible)
• 3 tablespoons cups fresh-grated asiago cheese

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat; add pureed garlic and diced onions; cook about five minutes until the onions are tender and translucent.
2. Whisk in milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; slowly bring the mixture up to a boil stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
3. Dissolve cornstarch in water; mix well so that there are no lumps; slowly add cornstarch mixture just as the sauce comes to a boil and whisk well; allow mixture to come back to a boil.
4. Turn off heat and stir in the cheeses; blend well, even using a small hand blender if possible, for three or more minutes until sauce is very smooth.
5. NOTE: You may use a regular blender if desired, but please be careful with the hot sauce and only puree one to two cups of it at a time ~ Use of blender is not absolutely required.
6. Taste sauce and season as desired; keep warm for immediate use or cool and store in refrigerator until needed.

Great Alfredo Sauce Recipe! I used this for the sauce in KitchenExpeditions® Special-TeaMmmm Pizza!! KitchenExpeditions® Special-TeaMmmm Pizza!! and it was perfect. I just made 1/2 a cup by reducing the recipe to .125 quarts. I was out of corn starch and 1 Tablespoon of flour thickened the sauce perfectly and did not lend itself to the flavor. Thanks Deb!
