Homemade Alfredo Sauce

 

Ingredients

 

 

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1-1/4 cups shredded Asiago cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 3/4 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 package (12 ounces) uncooked gluten-free pasta

  • Directions

    • In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium heat. Add shallots; cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add cream; cook and stir until heated through. Stir in Asiago, 1/2 cup Parmesan, Romano cheese, salt and pepper; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
    • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water; place pasta in a large bowl. Add sauce; toss to coat. Thin as desired with reserved pasta water. Serve with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

    Test Kitchen tip
  • Without the additional pasta cooking water, the sauce will be a little on the grainy side, so be sure to save some and add just enough to thin it all out.
