Alfredo Sauce - Copy Cat Olive Garden

By RuthLouise

Ingredients

• 2 cups half and half (or 1 cup milk and 1 cup heavy cream)
• 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup fresh shredded Romano cheese
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or white)

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium heat safe bowl, whisk egg yolks until lightened in color. Set aside.

Bring butter and half & half to a simmer, in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add cheeses and whisk to combine. Remove from heat. Slowly pour 1 cup of cheese mixture into egg yolks, while whisking. Be careful to pour slowly and whisk while pouring to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

Pour egg mixture back into saucepan and whisk until well combined. Add salt and pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Alfredo sauce will thicken as it cools.
