girl if you don't put some more seasoning in that damn sauce
parmesan and romano are salty cheeses, but yeah, i would put more cheese in there and some white pepper instead of the nutmeg. alfredo is a simple sauce, no need to overcomplicate it
Lol im dead
Cipriana Deleon Shut up. 🙄
Cipriana Deleon 😂😂😂😂😂🤣im deadddd
Ryan Grinstead - What did she do? -_-
Lmao that tiny spoon of salt tho
+KIK HACKS likeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, wtf that spoon of salt gon do?? lmaoo
+KIK HACKS Omg Yass! Like Wtf?!
ikr😂😂
I laughed so fucking hard.
chin sam I highly doubt that you can taste it lol
Add some parmesan to your parmesan.
And then once you think you have enough...
Add more!
you obviously dont know what Alfredo sauce is. its a ton of cheese and some cream. thats how its supposed to be. learn how to cook, noob
@@yyguuyg great explaining. So much detail.
Also having a bland pasta is boring
I laughed many times
@@jenniepotatoes1376 You wanna come over and I can show you how to make it, Jenn-ayy?
no garlic? that's the best part of alfredo! and garlic is mega yum yum yummy yummmmmmmm
Ducati NYC Vlog it makes you stink
ArielFox but it's worth it
That was the first thing out of my mouth too. No garlic??
needs garlic ortherwizes its fucking trash
Also, why no white wine deglaze?
Nice quick video, I added garlic to the butter too.
As far as tempering the egg, if the egg is not too cold you can whisk it in but tempering works too.
I cooked some chicken breasts sous vide for an hour then finished in skillet I used for my sauce, added a lil flavor and cut down on dirty dishes.
For people wanting to omit eggs, you can always add a splash of pasta water, the starch will help thicken it naturally, you could also add a touch of corn starch to thicken the sauce but the egg adds richness and smooths the sauce (it's fat).
Lil salt and pepper, and some fresh parsley never hurts.
I'm a BBQ guy in Texas so take these tips for what they are worth
My 9 year old boy loved it, and that's what matters at home.
Thanks for the tip!!!! ^_^
Make sure to temper the egg yolk before you put it in the saucepan. To do this, just add a little bit of the hot cream mixture into a bowl with the egg yolk, mix until warm, then add it back into the saucepan .This way, it won't cook the egg and get lumpy.
Great tip, Stephanie Chan! Thanks for sharing!
I ended up having like a scrambled egg in my pasta! Wish I had seen this comment before!
They definitely should have included the step in their video!
+courtney callanan LOL
+Stephanie Chan I wondered that myself when I was watching the video. I swear I even saw the yolk cook when it was added in the video. I think they should edit it, for that I will give this video a thumbs down because unless someone has prior knowledge, they will ruin their pasta sauce.
Skip the egg, and add GARLIC!!
Egg yolks are for thickening and it add a little more creamy goodness
@@alfiand9269 So it helps thicken it? Hmm..
@@dianamorales7335 yes
John Galt the yoke helps it thicken and makes it more creamy
I know
I made this tonight. I added a little garlic to the butter and heavily salted my noodles and it was so delicious!
1:18 got me dead😂😂😂
Hello, Klang Asia - Adding grilled chicken slices sounds like a delicious idea! We recommend making the Alfredo sauce and tossing it with your favorite pasta, and then topping servings of pasta with the chicken. Yum!
Oh! Thanks for the reply! More powers Allrecipes! :) And more helpful videos please! :) Thanks again!!! :-*
+Raylene Valencia
not a good idea. the heavy cream is the base to the sauce Milk is too thin and will not add any body to the sauce. imo
Hi, I need reply asap.
Can the nutmeg be excluded? And can I use all purpose cream instead the whipping cream stated in the list?
What
+xoheartyoona유나 certainly you can leave out anything you can't eat or don't have as you are making it for yourself. I am unable to help with the cream as I am unfamiliar with the variations of the US? Is all purpose cream a pouring cream? In Australia Thickened or pouring cream would be fine, any pure cream is fine.
Thank you for your question. The trick is to add the egg yolk slowly, while constantly stirring the sauce. That way it will incorporate with the sauce without scrambling. Enjoy!
I discovered this recipe yesterday then I made it for dinner tonight. It was delicious. Even my 2 year old and my 9 month old loved it. I will definitely make it again.
Sooo... no garlic, and no freshly grated cheese. You just made egg nog with a dusting of parmesan powder... Hard pass, hard, hard pass.😞😞
No Nonsense Ms. Elle true. She didn’t even think of putting in any oregano either. Not even basil leaves. What is wrong with this woman?
u do know the cheese is just finely grated right???
ROFLMAO!!! You need to stop!!
The part of the grater that looks Ike a bunch of stars powers parmisean like that. I doubt she did it because grating that much like that would take a hour but you never know.
LOL
Just tried this recipe for my family just multiplying the ingredients by 4 and everyone loved it!! Thank you 🙏🏽
i almost cried at the dash of salt and seasoning lmao, then gone add all that parm cheese ...smh,,,u know u cant taste that dash of salt -_-
You’d be surprised at how much of a difference that dash of salt makes. Sounds extremely stupid I know.
LMAO💀
I guess you have no idea how much salt is in parmesan cheese. Over 500mg per ounce. You don't even need to add a pinch of salt.
that's why they call it a "dash". It adds to the flavor w/o tasting like you used Sea Water. Yes.
Garlic? Of course.
I made this tonight and it was delicious! I omitted the nutmeg bc I didn't have it. I added smoke paprika and cayenne for flavor. I really like the 2 cheeses. The Romano gives the dish a deep rich pungent flavor. This is a winner. Thank you for sharing!
1. Separate egg
2. Stir yolk
Melt 3tbs butter
Mix in with 1 cup of heavy cream
Add salt
Add nutmeg
Add 1/2 cup of grated parm
Stir till melted
Add yolk of egg
Mix
Simmer for 3-5 min
This recipe was so good, thanks a lot for this wonderful sauce recipe. I did some little adjusts but the result came out wonderful.
I added 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, 1/8 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp garlic.
I also added 2 to 3 tablespoons on top of the yellow to thin it out as recommended by a commenter over here to avoid any lumps. I used penne pasta in place of fettuccine, once the sauce was done, I put the pasta in the pan and I stir for like 2 minutes along with the sauce and I added like extra 1/2 cup of cheese to melt together & on top dry parsley to give a good taste :)
Oh goodnes. Okay first of all I want to say my husband has always loved my pastas.. shrimp alfredo and my spagettis But I didnt make things from scratch until now. Our 2 year of marriage. . I never knew alfredo sauce was so dam easy to make. You cant imagine how much of a goof ball I feel like. Not only does this recipe taste sooooo good im saving tons of $ .... thanks all recipes. Ive learnes lota from your page... love from durango, Mexico! P.s nope we dont all just eat mexican food lol
Hi loyalmorales, thanks for your feedback! We're so glad we could help :)
Using your recipe, I made a 3X portion of your glorious Alfredo sauce, so I used 3X the ingredients, plus a 3/4 brick of Philly, & a tablespoon of organic Morton & Bassett's "Herbs of Providence," some cracked pepper, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, & holy smokes did it come out thick, silky/creamy & awesome. I used it for some 4 cheese tortellini shells. MMmmmmmmmmmmm...
This was my 1st attempt to actually going by a quick & easy recipe, & you did not disappoint. Store bought jars of sauces are now officially dead to me. CHEERS!!!
When you’re trying to sound fancy but don’t realize it’s “herbes de Provence “
@@Puglover130 HA!!! Nah, I'm too bland myself. But my Alfredo sauce came out FANTASTICO!!! (spoken with an old world Italian accent, mixed with a pinch of North Side Chicago accent)
This looks like the most bland alfredo I've ever seen.
Brian Geary have you tasted her mac and cheese 😷😷😷
more like milk and macaroni lol
Post a video of the perfect alfredo then.
Ryu Tube true I'm having it rn
I know right
Made this today, and adapted as per the ingredients I had on hand. It tasted cheesy even though I didn't use cheese! First off, 3 tbsp butter with 2 tbsp all purpose flour. The resulting roux was heavier towards butter than flour. I added some milk, and boiled it down so it thickened slightly, and then added about 100 ml cream. And a lil stock that I had left after boiling chicken for the same dish. Added salt, pepper. When the mixture had reached almost its final desired thickness, I stirred in one egg yolk ever so slowly. And that was it. Really good, came together real quick. And probably the best success I've had with any bootleg version of the sauce.
Edit: I did use garlic but that was when I put everything together - the veggies, the protein, the pasta.
Garlic would be a great addition to this sauce! Enjoy :)
Thank you for your question. You can use extra Romano cheese or Mozzarella cheese. Enjoy!
A few months ago I made this recipe and it was delicious! The second time I made it i sort of tweaked the recipe by skipping the egg and nutmeg, but it didn't have as much flavor. And yeah, next time, I'm definitely going to add garlic. It's my fav lol ❤🍽🍜😊
just did it and wow it was so different and really is the best, i am on a diet and it makes wanna eat MORE of my spaghetti, meatballs and ALFREDO SAUCE
I am only 12 years old and LOVE to cook and bake! This recipe by far really wowed my family!
Great job Allthingspossible!
I love to cook and bake too and I am 12 also !
I thought I am the only one lol
Same but I’m 11
Grace Pulver omg yes #cookingislife
Keep it going
I tried this and it was SO SO good! I agree with more than 5 stars! I didn't have any store bought heavy cream so i made some and adedd a pinch of flour and it thickend it instantly!
No garlic? And what's with the egg, never heard of that in any recipe?
Rookies pfffff , i could answer you this question , but na watch n learn , okay well , if you wanna add garlic , or onion well add it but this isnt no mexican sauce , geezus , people , now a days , dont know much.
Juan Mendoza whats next , jalapenios lmfao ,
what about scrambled. you are the one who looked it up, master chef
Juan Mendoza wtf ?? How can you just assume he's Mexican , I put garlic or garlic powder in my pasta what's wrong with that??
Juan Mendoza Since when puting garlic and onion is mexican??!
I use a microwave and a blender to do this in about 2 minutes. heat the cream and melt the butter in the MW for about 45-60 seconds, put the egg yolk in the blender and the seasonings to the heated cream/butter mixture, stir, turn on the blender and slowly pour in the mixture. if you need to add some heat then just MW for another 30 seconds to a minute. works great and saves, time. thanks for the video.
I'm italian and I wanted to know why did you say that Alfredo Sauce is from Italy. ALFREDO SAUCE DOESN'T EXIST HERE😅😅.Sorry for my english.
the original alfredo sauce came from ROME. Been there and its mindblowing good
Silvia Badellino I've heard that chicken alfredo doesn't exist there either and that neither does pepperoni 😂 it's all about salami
Silvia Badellino
Practically it's "pasta alla panna" with a different name 😑
_
still tastes good
Such a simple sauce to make and you guys filled the bill for the folks that don't normally cook. It's like watching the overthinking on film.
Thanks for your question, Panharath kim. The nutmeg is the traditional seasoning ingredient for this pasta sauce, but you may omit it if you wish. Substitutes might be allspice, cinnamon or mace.
Can I use all purpose cream?
Yes, that substitution will be fine, xoheartyyoona.
CDMA the uu.087t32wz
😥
A mixture of clove, cinnamon and cardemom would be a good substitute, however the flavour of freshly grated nutmeg us unbeatable!
Nutmeg goes well with white sauces.
Hands down the best alfredo sauce I have ever had or made. All you professionals arguing otherwise can say what you like, but this one cannot be beat!
I add garlic, but it is good
You don't put fucking garlic into Alfredo! DX
Herbert Die Soße
Buts it’s the flavour master 😂
Herbert Die Soße uhhhh what the fuck are you talking about? sure it’s not required, but every good alfredo has at least a dash of garlic.
One of the best ! I've made this and my sister loved it !
Thanks
I had to rewatch this a couple times thinking I missed the part when you added the garlic... where is the garlic?
I have a recipe book from an Italian chef and there is no garlic or onion in it .
What made you think this was a garlic Alfredo sauce recipe?
good recipe to know, it looks so good
Yes, you can use milk instead of heavy cream. It might not turn out as thick or rich, but will still be delicious! Enjoy :)
Thank you for your question, Julie. Nutmeg is a very traditional ingredient in cream sauces. If you are not a fan of the nutmeg flavor, you can certainly leave it out of this recipe.
"Nutmeg is a very traditional ingredient in cream sauces" .... OMG !!! I'm sorry but that's a mistake, here the only one original recipe: th-cam.com/video/Sk9HCxfIREo/w-d-xo.html
When the words “dash” & “pinch” is used accordingly in the cooking world 😭😭😂👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
tried this recipe and its really good
Hi Brett, you can certainly add garlic, parsley and crushed pepper to this sauce. Great additions :)
I made this recipe exactly like its supposed to be made last night but used fusilli noodles instead. The flavor is delicious but it is very oily bc of the butter. I am going to try again and omit the butter. Its the easiest recipe ever and tastes great so its a keeper.
SICK guitar riffs
This is really good when you don’t have all the ingredients for an actual sauce & you’re stuck in the house for quarantine . Thank you for saving my dinner.
Was it good cause I’m in the same boat!?
For the traditional Italian Alfredo sauce, all you need is butter, salted pasta water for the starch and Pecorino Romano ( a goat cheese ) , that's it. This sauce may be a lot of things, including delicious, but it certainly isn't traditional Alfredo. Cooked with egg, it is closer to a Carbonera " sauce ".
Looks fairly good, me, use fresh grated nutmeg, fresh garlic, remove one third of sauce and finish pasta in two thirds of sauce in pan, then pour over pasta with remaining sauce, also temper your egg yolk, surprised that it did not curdle/scramble when added to simmering cream
add garlic. fresh minced garlic. Plus pepper. Shallots at the start even. Whatever you want to do. The point is, this is a great base recipe from which you should add your own preferences. I made this with fresh spinach linguine, shrimp sauted in butter and salt along with steamed broccoli. It was incredible.
Is it okay to use garlic powder in this or no?
Yes God please yes. This sauce looks underseasoned and bland.
i always use this recepi its amazing and i also add onions mushrooms, garlic and shrimp. Its so good😍
Is the heavy cream also called heavy whipping cream or are those different?
Heavy whipping cream is to make whipped cream, I suggest to just use the normal heavy cream
+Faria Linares He is asking what heavy cream is, you fucking moron.
whipping cream is heavy cream yes.
yes
I tried making it the exact same way today and wow it tastes very delicious with regular spaghetti and stir fried vegetables. Thanks a lot for posting the recipe. PS: with salt and pepper as required
I'm liking how this sauce looks. However, I'm curious as to why they didn't add garlic because the best Alfredo sauce that I have tasted had garlic in it. :\
I'm going to try this either way!
Enzo the Baker NOO add garlic please this shit tastes bland asf especially with that tiny ass spoon of salt . I tried it and my whole family hated it . Hope you didn’t make it yet. Try the one pot chef one it’s so good. Also I put some cayenne for heat and more cheese and some more cream and it is awesome sauce. Don’t try this bland bs
Amazing I cooked it for my son and I tonight absolutely incredible!!
May I ask , why the egg yoke? I have never heard of doing this before
Thanks for your question, califdad4. The egg yolk serves as a thickener for the ricotta cheese filling, making it richer and creamier.
thanks, I had never heard of that before
+Allrecipes "ricotta cheese filling" I think you are thinking about a different recipe, this is for Alfredo sauce.
+MaZEEZaM thanks I missed that, I also wonder why no garlic, most alfredo I have had has garlic
I seem to remember Alfredo having chives as a garnish also but it doesn't really matter, always best to make it how you like it best.
first of all, a good alfredo sauce has a flour on it (butter and flour combination to make a rue, for thickening)... and i'm working in a restaurant, they put red and green bell pepper to taste which makes it incredibly delicious.
ps: you didn't whisk your egg yolk immediately when you put it in the sauce, so it curdled a bit...
I keep rewatching that dash of salt in disbelief🤣💀 1:18
😂me too but I'm thinking if you melt salted butter the dash may just be enough but of course you need to taste it😂😂
Most amazing recipe!! My husband and friends all love it when I make it. It took awhile to get the consistency right but after reading your responses of other questions I have mastered the recipe..thank you :)
Guys stop being so hard on her... It actually tasted sooooo good!!!
You probably think mayo is spicy
Exactly, no flour is needed at all. The cheese and the egg-yolk are all that is needed. The sauce isn't cooked separately either. Once the pasta has been drained it's thrown back into the same pot it was boiled in, then light cream is added (depending on the specific recipe), the cheese, an egg-yolk, some freshly ground or cracked pepper, etc. I've done it that way many, many times. But one can make the sauce in a separate pot. I'm going to try it tonight because I'm changing my recipe.
I was like yessss when I saw this and had ingredients but forgot I did’t have spaghetti.....
Awee. I feel
I had left over parm and Romano from a meatball recipe, so I thought I would grate and use it in this. I added garlic. This is now my recipe for chicken alfredo. Family loved it. THANKS A MILLION.
It was good. I had to whisk real fast because my egg yolk started to scramble
I just use any type of cream, some cream cheese, some Parmesan cheese and like 2 tbsp of garlic powder. Comes out soooo good!!!
1:56 This made me wince, temper the egg folks or it will end in tears!
Can I use whipping cream instead of heavy cream?
Translation:
in a saucepan melt 3 tbl spoons of 90% fat.
add one cup of 35% liquid fat and let it simmer a bit.
add 2 more quarter cups of 30% solid fat and let that melt in.
and at the end add 50g of 100% yellow liquid fat.
lmao hell yeah
That egg yolk made it so amazing creamy and slightly thick. A MUST! I know recipes that call for flour and roux's and all that but damn this was awesome. If you mix this way of doing it with some other videos, you will make a masterpiece of a sauce in no time and easily. I added very minced onion and crushed garlic (basically garlic paste) and boy o boy it was good.
USE FRESH CHEESES if you can.
I used this video first to see what else I could add and CREAM CHEESE sounds absolutely stunna so maybe try that and you might really add some unique-ness to your alfredo sauce. Either way, SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY STORE-BOUGHT Alfredo Sauce.
Holy shit come on, you're supposed to tell people to temper the egg before they put it in or there will be a guaranteed hundreds of people frustrated with their grainy, lumpy alfredo sauce. Time to either re-do the video or put a caption that says to temper the egg yolk first.
Im so glad I read comments
How do u temper an egg
Sanchita Koppa take a bit of the sauce out and SLOWLY mix it into the yolk. Then add the yolk sauce to the “alfredo”. But to be honest this video is,... bland sounding. There’re tons better out there. For better seasoning I always add garlic, more parm than what she adds and some red chili flakes to spice it up.
@@recca01982 We would be friends based on your wonderful taste
Pacen tho well, you can temper the egg yolk first, or you can remove the sauce from the heat before whisking it in, and it won’t scramble. As long as the temperature isn’t too high and you keep whisking, it blends just fine
Finally...someone who puts the yolk in the sauce! I would add wine, garlic and shallots for more flavor, but I love the nutmeg and the egg yolk, which is part of how the original recipe was. People got scared of egg yolks and they are missing the richness that it adds to the sauce.
That is scrambled eggs
What???
They didnt temper the egg yolk
I made this today and followed the recipe exactly. I didn't have any pasta, so I used egg noodles. It was delicious.
Nikoavocado brought me here...
The best sauce made ever.
**Italy left the chat*
Could I substitute for the egg yolk with a small bit of flour to help thicken it?
Can I use milk
Hi, jessica Araujo - We'd hate to see you substitute milk for the heavy cream in this recipe because that's what makes the sauce so rich and luscious. But if you must, be aware that the sauce will be much thinner.
Will not be as creamy!
Slayyy_xxo _fab i use both milk and cream! it turns out perfect.
you can, but you need to make a roux. make it with butter and flour, then cook it enough so you won't have a floury taste to the sauce, then add the milk. The roux is a thickening agent for Mac and cheese, and Alfredo sauce is basically the same thing in a way.
If you use milk, make sure you add flour or cornstarch to the mixture. Add flour and oil/butter to a pan (which makes a roux), then slowly add the milk while whisking quickly so it will blend better. Hope this helped. (:
Thanks! Can I add some parsley or any green. Or will it get rid of the flavor?
Oh pls.... What's this????
I just made this recipe sauce for lunch Thank you! Awesome
I always get the most vile gas when I eat alfredo sauce. I swear I could clear a city block with my ass.
Thanks for letting everyone know.
Is there any substitutes for heavy cream?
Even in Italian prisons they don't serve this kind of "dish". Cagare fuori dal vaso !
Can you use milk instead of heavy cream
Was anyone else sitting there like this “😒🤨” the whole time?
Thank you so much for the recipe, I live in France and I don't know how to make the Alfredo sauce, but it seems so good!!! I really want to taste it 🤤!! I will try your recipe, I'm sure I will have a very good meal 😋, thank you so much 😋🥰😋😋
Two words - Scrambled egges😐
Three words, You can't cook.
I finally tried this recipe and love, love, love it. I actually tweaked mine with cream cheese too. It was sooooo good, now makes me don't want to buy store brought anymore.
@Rhianna S. I notice that, but I liked how it turned out.... nice and simple.
@Allrecipes I have a few questions if you don't mind.
How do I get the parmesan to fully melt? It came out tasty but I didn't like the texture because some of the cheese didn't fully melt.
Also, I made this recipe for myself since I'm barely learning how to cook but my family tasted it and really liked it so I have been asked to make a large enough serving for about 5 people, how much of each ingredient wpuld I make to serve 5? I don't just want to double everything and call it a day because it might be a bit salty and I don't want to heavy of a parmesan taste.
Last question, I want to add grilled chicken to this and I season the chicken with salt and pepper, so to not have to much salt and pepper in the taste do I cut the salt and pepper by half when making the sauce or do I just keep the sauce the same and just throw in the grilled chicken?
I made this recipe after trying a few other recipes and this one is by far my personal favorite except I substituted the nutmeg for plain old black pepper because I didn't have nutmeg.
Hi rachel. You can leave the nutmeg out if you prefer. It's usually used to enhance the flavor of cream based sauces.
Mine came out lumpy and the cheese looks like it curdled😢
i ligit got so hungry from this, gonna try this recipe out right now! 😋🍝
I made it and the sauce is AMAZING
i made this recipe just now its sooooooooooooo gooooooooooood
This is the best Alfredo sauce I've ever had. 👍👍👍👍
hello allrecipe member, thnks for providing this amazing alfredo sauce as I made it for my mom,she loved it , and it taste really amaing with perfect creamy texture. the country where I live , the heavy cream is a little bit expensive, is there any other substitute to achive the same flavor reather than heavy cream.
Heavy cream is hard to replace, Mohammed Aiyaad, but some cooks use a mixture of half-and-half and butter as a substitute. To substitute half-and-half for 1 cup of heavy cream, use 7/8 cup half-and-half with 1/6 cup melted butter. (Be sure the butter has cooled before blending it into the half-and-half.
Did it.super easy and tasty.
When I’m bored I look at food on TH-cam and I always regret everything cuz dayum this looks so damn good!🤤
absolutely love how it turned out
I like the recipe in this video, just for information, the link provided is not the same recipe as in your video.
also for lith alfredo you can use 1/2 cream with 1/2 milk from the galon or full can milk we love it .....
