Submitted by Chef Jean

"The brandy gives the sauce a little extra flavor, but it can be ommited. Light cream 1/2 and 1/2 or whole milk can be used in place of the heavy cream."

This was very nice, and simple enough to make. The bay leaf, onion and clove and the brandy make a very unusual and enjoyable flavour. We had this quite late at night, so I substituted the cream for low fat milk to make it a little lighter. Thanks for sharing

This is seriously good! The addition of bay leaves, cloves and brandy are new additions to alfredo sauce for me and will definitely become regulars. I added browned button mushrooms and diced, cooked ham and served over pasta for a creamy, comforting, tasty meal. Thank you Chef Jean.
