Recipe Introduction


"HOW THE ALFREDO IS TRULY MADE."posted by one that works in prep kitchen
Poster that tried the recipe said "I just made the Alfredo Sauce. It was awesome and pretty darn authentic. I first halved the recipe, then halved it again, as I was only feeding 3-4 of us. I also sauteed some sliced chicken in some butter to put on the pasta, then topped it w/the alfredo sauce. My family loved it! Thanks again."


List of Ingredients




Seriously - there is *no* cream cheese in the alfredo!
What you'll need for the *true* Olive Garden alfredo.

1# butter
1 tsp coase black pepper
1 TBSP chopped garlic (either in the jar, or fresh garlic)
1 tsp salt
** melt butter with seasonings... when butter has melted, add:
2 quarts heavy cream
8 oz milk
** When milk has begun to boil, (before it begins to foam up..) Add:
4 oz white sauce base (or 3 oz flour will work)
1# grated parm. cheese.

Mix throughly with a wire whip to break up clumps, bring up to 185 degrees and then serve.

I know this is alot, lets say you have a big party or what not. If you want to make less, simply half the recipe.
