This is my own recipe for alfredo sauce. I have caught more than one person eating it with a spoon! I prefer angel hair pasta as it seems to trap the sauce better than most other pastas. This stuff is really rich and absolutely sinful! Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package chicken breast tenders |
1 quart heavy whipping cream |
1 cup butter (i use 2 sticks sweet cream butter) |
4 ounces grated parmesan cheese |
2 ounces grated romano cheese |
4 ounces shredded parmesan cheese (fresh, for body) |
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
1 (12 ounce) package angel hair pasta |
Directions:
1. Boil angel hair pasta until al dente and set aside, keeping warm.
2. Boil chicken tenders until done and dice after cooled.
3. In large saucepan melt 1 1/2 sticks butter (or 3/4 cup, if you are not using sticks), reserving other 1/2 stick (or 1/4 cup)for thickening.
4. Add heavy cream and all cheeses to saucepan stirring constanty over medium heat.
5. In a microwavable dish, melt remaining butter. Add 3-4 tbs. flour being sure to smooth out any lumps.
6. Add butter and flour mixture to saucepan and stir until sauce thickens just a bit.
7. Salt the sauce to taste.
8. Stir diced chicken into sauce and serve over the angel hair pasta.
