A Love Letter to Alfredo Sauce

In the realm of culinary delights, few experiences can match the pleasure of a well-crafted Alfredo Sauce. At our table, we've enjoyed countless renditions of this classic, but it was Tee's recent creation that truly stole the spotlight. With each velvety spoonful, we discovered the essence of homemade comfort, all thanks to Tee's saucy prowess.

Tee's journey through the world of sauces is one built on curiosity, experimentation, and a genuine passion for culinary creations. Over the years, she has cultivated a unique ability to take the ordinary and elevate it to extraordinary. Her flair for knowing just what to add in a sauce has earned her the endearing nickname from the family "Saucy Tee," a tribute to her knack for adding that extra layer of flavor that turns a good dish into an unforgettable one.

Beyond its taste, Saucy Tee's Alfredo Sauce encapsulates the essence of shared meals and cherished moments. One of her mom's favorite places to eat was Olive Garden and the table would be filled with alfredo sauce and bread sticks, most of us preferred to dine on only the alfredo and breadsticks, if we are honest. Tee's alfredo sauce brings comfort to rainy evenings, reminds us of laughter at family celebrations and adds the warmth of family gatherings to our meals. Each time we indulge, we're reminded of the care and love that goes into every dish Tee creates with her sauces. 

Tee's Alfredo Sauce isn't just a recipe; it's a testament to the power of a well-crafted sauce and how it can evoke feelings of warmth, togetherness, and nostalgia. It's the sauce that turned a regular dinner into a cherished memory, the sauce that transformed a mundane weekday into a special occasion.

A Love Letter to Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Heavy Cream (but if out you can use a mixture of what you have - half and half and whole milk, I have used them all)
  • 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick)
  • 1 1/2 cups of parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsps Cream Cheese
  • Everything is Better with Garlic Seasoning
  • Jeddy's Seasoning
  • All Purpose Flour

Instructions:

  1. Begin by melting butter and cream cheese in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring or using a whisk to get the cream cheese melty into the butter. add 1 tablespoon of Everything is Better with Garlic Seasoning. Whisking the butter, cream cheese and seasoning together. Take a moment to inhale and notice as the air is infused with the aroma of garlic 
  2. Once the butter and cream cheese have melted stir in 3 Tsps of flour and stir as it thickens.  Once the butter and cream cheese are thoroughly blended into the butter begin to add and whisk in the cream/milk.
  3. Once the cream has been added, you can now begin to add the parmesan cheese. 
  4. I also add a couple shakes of Jeddy's Seasoning at this point too. Stirring/whisking to blend. At this point I tend to chop herbs or veggies or cater to another part of our dish.  Always when I come back to It I will notice it got a bit stringy but don't despair as it heats up and you whisk it, it will smooth out.              
  5. Taste test, check consistency and adjust. Maybe you want a bit more garlic start with a pinch more of Everything is Better with Garlic. Maybe you want it a little thinner, add a bit more cream. Maybe you want it more cheesy, more Parmesan it is.  And sometimes we just want a bit more Jeddys depending on what we are paring the sauce with. Whatever your preference this is your time to adjust and add your love to it.Everything is Better with Garlic Seasoning by Southern Sol
  6. Serve on your favorite pasta, dip your favorite garlic bread in it, mix with a marinara or explore other ideas like a sauce on your pizza. 
  7. Enjoy with the ones you love!
