Recently I asked over on Instagram what you all wanted to see more of in JoMaine’s Kitchen, and one answer came up a lot… pasta sauces.
So we’re doing it. 🍝
Over the next few recipes, I’ll be sharing some of my go-to sauces, starting with this one. A creamy, rich, and super comforting alfredo that you’ve probably had before… especially if you’ve ever found yourself enjoying those unlimited breadsticks 😌
This one is simple, indulgent, and comes together quicker than you’d think. It’s perfect for weeknights, date nights, or honestly just when you’re craving something cozy.
What Is Alfredo Sauce?
Alfredo sauce is a classic Italian-inspired cream sauce made with butter, cream, and cheese. It’s known for its rich, velvety texture and is most commonly served with pasta like fettuccine.
While traditional versions can be very simple, many of the versions we know and love today are a little more indulgent, extra creamy, and packed with flavor. This recipe leans into that comfort food style while still keeping it easy to make at home.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup imported Romano cheese, grated
6 egg yolks
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
HEAT milk and cream in a heavy bottom saucepan until it begins to simmer. Turn off heat. Slowly whip in cheese, then remove from heat.
PLACE egg yolks in a separate bowl and slowly whip in a portion of the hot milk and cream mixture. Slowly add egg yolk mixture back into remaining cream mixture. Place back on very low heat and continually stir until simmering. Take sauce off heat so it thickens. (This will increase temperature of egg yolks, known as tempering).
SEASON to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve over your favorite pasta.
Tips for the Perfect Alfredo
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest texture
Keep the heat low to avoid separating the sauce
Add a splash of pasta water if you need to loosen it up
Serve immediately for the best consistency
This Is Just the Beginning
Since pasta sauces were such a popular request, this is just the start. There’s a lot more coming to JoMaine’s Kitchen, and I’m excited to keep building this out with you.
