Answer 1

I have the best recipe for Alfredo sauce..it is sooo yummy and tons of people have complimented me on it and used it themselves. It is so super simple. Ok let me try to write it out here..lol..its hard to make a recipe out of something you just make yourself without using a recipe!

1 pint of Heavy Cream
1 stick of butter
2 Tbsp. Cream Cheese
1/2 - 3/4 C. Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. Garlic powder
1 Cup of shredded Italian mix cheese (pre-shredded is what i use and its called Italian mix)

In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. Add the Parmesan cheese and Garlic powder. Simmer this for 15 - 20 minutes on low. You may wish to season with a little salt and pepper. Right before serving add cheese. The secret to this recipe is the simmering. 15-20 min is the minimum..if you can let it simmer longer it is much better.

Answer 2

14 oz pasta, which ever you want
1 salt
4 oz gorgonzola cheese; diced
1 tb olive oil; optional
1 freshly ground black pepper

CREAM SAUCE
1 ts butter
1 onion; peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic; peeled and
-crushed
1 1/4 c cream; light, heavy
1 or soy cream
1 salt and freshly ground
-pepper
1 freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions...

1. Fill a large saucepan with 4 quarts of water and bring to boil over
high heat for the pasta.

2. When the water boils, add the pasta along with a tablespoon of salt
and give the pasta a quick stir. Briefly put the lid on until it starts
to lift, showing that the water has come back to a boil, then let the
pasta bubble away, uncovered, for about 8 minutes, or until it is tender
but still has some bite to it.

3. Heat the cream sauce through gently. (Directions for cream sauce are
below.) Just before the pasta is ready, remove the sauce from the heat and
add the Gorgonzola, so that it begins to melt.

4. Drain the pasta by tipping it all into a colander placed in the sink,
then put it back into the still-warm pan. Either add the olive oil to the
pasta, serve it on warm plates and spoon the sauce on top; OR, add the
sauce directly to the pasta, toss gently and serve on warm plates. Grind
some black pepper coarsely over the top and serve at once.

Directions are cream sauce:

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then add the onion. Cover and
cook gently for 10 minutes, until tender but not brown.

2. Add garlic to the onion and cook for a minute or two longer. Stir in
the cream and leave the mixture to simmer gently for about 10 minutes,
until the cream has reduced a bit and thickened.

3. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg and keep on one side until the
pasta is done.

Answer 3

4 bulbs garlic
½ Vidalia onion (or other sweet onion)
½ C (approximately) white wine (or water or stock)
1 T Italian herbs
½ t salt
¾ C heavy cream


Method:


Preheat oven to 325 F. Cut off the top 1/3 of each garlic bulb, exposing the moist insides. Discard tops or use for stock. Cut the onion in half. Place all cut side down in a small roasting pan or casserole dish. Fill dish about ½" deep with wine, and sprinkle in the seasonings. Cover pan with lid or foil. Bake in oven for at least an hour till all the veggies are very soft. Check the pan once or twice to make sure it doesn't dry out. If dry, add more liquid. Hopefully, your pan will become dry at the same time that the veggies are finished cooking. Remove from oven and allow to cool to handle.

Squeeze out the pulp from the garlic and onion into the jar of a blender. Add the cream. Blend till very smooth. Pour into saucepan to heat till just bubbly. Taste for seasoning.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Fry floured chicken breasts until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and place in a 13x9-inch baking dish.

Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook until garlic is fragrant and onion is tender, about 1-2 minutes.

Increase heat to medium-high, and add Pamesan cheese and pepper. Cook until sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken.

Bake chicken in a 375 degree pre-heated oven for 8-12 minutes, until cooking thermometer inserted into center of thickest piece of chicken registers 180 degrees.

Sprinkle with parsley.
