Pasta Alfredo
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (not canned “shakey cheese”, the cellulose prevents melting)
- 1 lb long pasta (we like fettuccine)
- Optional ~1-2 oz fresh basil, chiffonade
Method
- Bring salted water to a boil for pasta, add cream and butter to a wide and tall frying pan on low heat.
- When butter is completely melted, add shredded parmesan cheese. stir briefly until melted.
- Add basil to sauce and reduce to lowest heat until ready to use.
- When pasta is slightly under cooked, drain thoroughly and add to sauce.
- Finish pasta over medium heat until tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve immediately with baked or grilled brined chicken thigh or breast.
