How To: The BEST Alfredo Sauce, super easy.

This is a bi weekly meal in our house, it's seriously easy and everyone loves it, and it tastes delish

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Cup Shredded (not grated) Parmesan Cheese
4-5 cloves of garlic (we like a lot, maybe not so much for you?) chopped
Directions:
Heat oil, add butter, let melt.  Add garlic cook until it's just caramelized. Turn heat down to med, add cream, simmer till it starts to bubble a little.  Add parm one light layer at a a time, let it get melty and stir it in with a whisk (spoon makes it clump). Do this till all your parm is gone!
You can add salt and pepper to taste, i think the parm makes it salty enough but some like a little more. This is seriously so good
(i tripled it here in the photos, a friend just had a baby and brought them some.. and brought some to gram and gramps, so it looks like a lot more butter etc)

we're sizzling

Garlic + Butter will get every one's senses going

If you shop at TJ's they sell Heavy Cream in a 2 C container, so I use one cup, and freeze the other in the same container, super convenient.




yay for the tupperware steamer! love this thing..i throw a head of broccoli in with the pasta, or squash, just whatever veggie i have on hand

be sure to just add the parm a little layer at a time so it doesn't clump up on you!
makes enough for one 16 oz. bag of pasta


ok i suck. i forgot to take a picture of it all tossed together, then everyone ate almost all of it! So this is in the tupperware the next day lol, and most of the sauce was at the bottom. but I promise  it's super yummy!!
