My husband and I just love Alfredo sauce, so I tend to make it quite a bit! I started with this recipe but over time it has really evolved to suit mine and my husband's tastes. I love the way this Alfredo comes out every time, and I just realized I never made a post dedicated to it! So here is my favorite recipe, I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients
Adapted from Tyler Florence
2 cups milk (I usually use a combo of 1 cup fat free half and half and 1 cup skim)
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 shallot, minced
2 small or medium garlic cloves, minced
3 tsp all purpose flour
salt
pepper
nutmeg
Directions
Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add butter and whisk occasionally until all of the butter has melted. When the butter has melted, whisk in flour, shallot and garlic and let it sit at a very low simmer (make sure it doesn't really boil) for aprox. 3-5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Whisk in cheese and add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. Continue to let the sauce simmer very slightly until it is at the consistency you want. Great with fresh pasta. Garnish pasta with chives or green onions, if desired!

Looks delicious and I love this recipe from Tyler! I made this a few years ago from one of his cookbooks - perfect!
I love that you're using fat free half and half and skim milk...great way to make alfredo sauce more guilt-free!
Ok- I just found your blog and I went through a bunch of your older posts...It is 10 pm and after reading your blog I am hungry! Everything you make looks delicious and I want to try all your recipes....I especially want to make the homemade pasta! I keep trying to convince myself to go and buy the pasta attachment for my kitchen aide...now I think I will!
