Welcome to The Sauce and Gravy Channel. This is Johnny Mac, and we're going to dive into a delicious pasta sauce, a comfort food classic and Alfredo sauce recipe. Buckle up.

Let's go. All right, let's go ahead and start off this comfort food classic. This is an American Italian creamy pasta dish.

Comfort food at its finest. We're going to start off working with the parmesan. We're using Parmesan Reggiano, 1.

5 cups or 80 grams. It's preferable to use a fresh block of the parmesan. However, if you don't have that, using the pre graded storebought is fine.

But I just do find that the fresh grated version is a little bit more tasty, and it melts better into the sauce. So there you go. There you have it.

We have the bulk of our flavor created. We have the Parmesan Reggiano. We have it shredded finely.

So we're ready to move on to the next step for the prep work. Now it's time to move on to the second main ingredient for this homemade Alfredo sauce. We're going to move on to the garlic to bring out that special homemade taste for this delicious white sauce, this Alfredo sauce.

It's best to use fresh garlic. So go ahead, smash the garlic, Peel the garlic, chop it up, mince it, and then, of course, smash it into the board. Take that flat part of that knife, smear that garlic, smash it into the board.

That will help release all of those delicious flavors into this Alfredo sauce. And the beauty of the Alfredo sauce is it's really easy to make. There are only two main ingredients.

You have the parmesan, you have the garlic. Everything else, you just kind of just throw it together. So it's really simple to make.

The prep work is not that hard. Throw in the pasta, have the pasta going. While you're doing the prep work, you can use fettuccini.

You can use Tagliatelle or Pappardelle or any sort of large pasta. You'll want to use those big, thick noodles so that this homemade Alfredo sauce can stick to them. All right, so the prep works complete.

Go ahead and grab a highsided saucepan. Put it over low to medium heat. We're going to grab four tablespoons of butter, or roughly around 57 grams.

We're going to slowly melt this down. We don't want to Brown the butter. This is a white sauce.

The Alfredo sauce is white. So just slowly melt that butter down. So the butter looks perfect.

Now it's time to go ahead and add the garlic. So same thing here with the garlic. We're going to treat it really gently.

We're over low heat, low to medium heat. This will help to gradually bring out that delicious garlic flavor into the butter and help it infuse. To help give this homemade from scratch Alfredo sauce a little bit of a pop of garlic.

So it's been about two to three minutes, and we've gently sauteed that garlic. At this point, you'll just start to notice that the butter and the garlic is starting to sizzle. So once you reach that point, then it's time for our next step, time to add the cream.

I'm adding 1. 5 half cups or 375 ML of heavy cream. So we're going to use the same method that we use for the butter as well as the garlic.

We're going to use a slow and low cooking technique. So keep that burner over low to medium heat. We're going to ever so slightly bring up the temperature of this sauce.

This is going to take about three to five minutes. Make sure that you whisk it. Make sure everything is well incorporated in you want to kind of feel it, get a touch for it, stick that finger in it, make sure that it gets to a nice temperature.

You don't want it to boil. You don't want it to be too hot. You just want it to be hot enough in order to melt that cheese.

A good indicator to know whenever this mixture is ready to go and it's warm enough is once it starts to steam, then you're ready to go. All right. So now it's time to add that Parmesan Reggiano to this delicious, creamy Alfredo sauce.

We're going to put in 1. 5 cups or 80 grams, put a little bit of it in at a time, mix it up, use that whisk. As you can see, the more that you put in the creamier and the richer this Alfredo sauce is getting for this step of the sauce making process, it's all about just infusing those flavors, as well as just concentrating the sauce, bringing out that thickness, that richness, that creaminess, it's going to take about three to five minutes.

It's not too terribly long. You just kind of watch it break out that whisk, give it a little bit of a whisk, and let that sauce just do its thing. You'll want to go ahead and retire that whisk, grab a spoon, scrape the side, scrape the bottom, make sure that everything's well incorporated.

And after a few minutes, once it starts to get steamy, it starts to get thick. Once this Alfredo sauce starts to coat the back of that spoon and you run your finger down it and that line stays. Well, my friends, you are good to go.

That homemade Alfredo sauce is ready to roll. Now for a few finishing touches, we're going to add a little bit of spice, some white pepper 1/4 teaspoon, just to give it a little bit of a taste, a little bit of a kick, and then just a little bit of a dash of salt so just make sure that you taste it before you put the salt in and then adjust it to your liking give it a little bit of a stir make sure everything is well incorporated and then you can add any sort of other ingredients that you like or you can just keep it simple like this but you could add chicken to it saute some chicken, throw it on in saute some shrimp, throw it in, put in some broccoli put in some vegetables throw in tofu whatever you like. Taster's choice I'm just going to keep it simple just a basic white sauce recipe just the Alfredo sauce by itself getting ready to throw in the noodles check it out we're going to use some fettuccine but before we do that give it one last little stir just admire this sauce, this homemade Alfredo sauce it's rich, it's thick check out all those little chunks of garlic you could just see they're little small taste bombs getting ready to go off it's just absolutely delicious and after you try this homemade from scratch Alfredo sauce recipe you will never, ever buy a store bought Alfredo sauce again.

Just go ahead and grab your noodles of choice. Like I said, I'm using Fettuccini.

Go ahead and grab them, throw them on in and we still have the burner on low heat. You definitely want to have that on. We're incorporating in those noodles.

We're going to kind of mix it in. We're heating it up a little bit. Those noodles are Al dente.
