What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Here Come the Holidays: Yummy Parmesan Alfredo Sauce! If ever there was a universal sauce, this is it. Alfredo sauce isn’t just for pasta any more. Pizzerias began using it to substitute the tomato base on pizzas, pairing it with bacon, spinach, artichokes, and chicken. It makes a creamy addition to grilled seafood, poultry, or pork dishes, as well. Some enthusiasts even slather alfredo sauce on baked potatoes. It’s pure genius to pour it into a freshly baked bread bowl for dipping crudités, if you’re into that sort of thing. No matter how you spin it…butter, cream, and cheese are the star attractions. These are the ways to a woman’s heart. That, and a bouquet of fresh flowers.
YUMMY PARMESAN ALFREDO SAUCE
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, unsalted
1 1/2 cups light cream
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons Neufchâtel cheese, softened
2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm butter. Add light cream. Reduce heat and simmer over Low heat for 2 minutes, stirring gently. Whisk in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper. Add Neufchâtel cheese; stir to incorporate. Slowly add parmesan cheese; whisk until completely melted. Keep warm prior to serving.

Oh, you hurt me. I had horrible alfredo last night… ended up tossing 80% of it. I didn’t realize it was possible to screw up pasta that bad!
