Pasta alfredo

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
½Stick butter
4Cloves garlic, minced
1cupHeavy cream
4tablespoonsChopped parsley (unfortunately I've been using dried)
2teaspoonsOnion powder
3tablespoonsRed pepper (I think this is a key ingredient!)
Freshly ground pepper (lots)
Salt to taste
cupFreshly grated parmesan (I actually use Asiago, which is sharper, mmmmm)
Pasta

Directions

Boil the water for the pasta (I've been using angel hair, and I'm terrible at measuring it -- the sauce is enough for 2-3 servings I think). Add pasta when it starts boiling. Melt the butter in a large pan, saute garlic until it looks soft. Add cream, parsley, onion powder, red pepper, black pepper and salt. Stir until is is almost boiling. Gradually add cheese and stir. I usually add a little Arrowroot to thicken the sauce. Drain the pasta (if you haven't already) and toss it with the sauce. Serve topped with a little cheese and parsley.

I REALLY like the red pepper in it, and I hadn't seen any recipes with that variation. I made this three nights in a row, we liked it so much. Now we're eating salads to make up for it! Posted to rec.food.recipes by "Susan M. Brumbaugh" <brumbaug@...> on 1994y, .
