Thought it is not a “traditional Alfredo sauce” my best dish is a creamy Alfredo sauce. This is the dish that defines me. I have forever ruined people’s restaurant experiences with my dish and I have been asked numerous times “what brand is that?”
This is my personal favorite dish and the basis on how I judge restaurants. If they cannot do at least as well as my home cooking, they are not worth my time. My wife absolutely loves my cheesy Alfredo sauce on top of my fried fish.
In American culture, Alfredo sauce is typically defined as a cream based sauce made with a roux adding Parmesan cheese and garlic. Though this typically does the trick, I have been to a number of restaurants that mess this up on a grand scale. Family members have said “this is amazing!” when it is literally butter and cream.
I have made an Alfredo sauce that stomps nearly any place which you can make yourself, and I am sharing the secret with you.
Start with a roux
Here is the key ingredient…milk…
Most recipes call for heavy cream. Heavy cream has no sugar, which is the key ingredient. ALWAYS use milk. Milk has sugar in it.
Add milk with garlic, salt, and pepper all to taste to make your desired flavor. You can also add extra sugar based on the sweetness you are trying to acquire.
Make an Alfredo sauce using a roux, milk, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, you will never again buy an alfredo sauce from a store.
