Carrabba's Alfredo Sauce Recipe: A Creamy Delight For Pasta Lovers
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- A pinch of nutmeg optional, but adds a depth of flavor
Instructions
Melt The Butter
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Avoid letting it brown to maintain the sauce’s creamy color.
Add Garlic
- Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. This step infuses the butter with a subtle garlic flavor without overwhelming the sauce.
Pour In The Heavy Cream
- Gradually add the heavy cream to the saucepan, whisking constantly. This process ensures a smooth, lump-free sauce.
Simmer To Perfection
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll notice it starts to thicken slightly, which is exactly what you want.
Blend In The Parmesan
- Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and incorporated. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, adjusting to your taste.
Serve And Enjoy
- Your Carrabba-inspired Alfredo sauce is now ready to be draped over your favorite pasta. Whether it’s fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti, this sauce transforms a simple meal into a gourmet experience.
