Heart Stopping Garlic Pasta
A few (kinda) little known fact about me: I adore alfredo sauce and I also love garlic wings (I actually just love the sauce, I could live without the chicken wing part). So I thought, why not combine two of my favorite savory indulgences?? *Poof* My heart stopping garlic pasta was born. **Warning** this recipe is VERY indulgent, high calorie and high fat (aren't all the best yummies like that!) - you might gain a few pounds by simply reading the recipe!
Heart Stopping Garlic Sauce
1 stick of butter
2 cups heavy cream (I've also used regular 2% milk)
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese (fresh parmesan is most tasty, but the stuff in a can is a fine substitute)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- Melt butter over medium heat in medium-sized saucepan
- Add heavy cream and spices; let simmer for 10 minutes
- Add parmesan cheese slowly, stirring to incorporate fully
- Simmer on medium-low heat until desired thickenss
Yes, it is that easy and it is soooooo good! This sauce is delicious on it's own (seriously, I could eat this on bread), but since alfredo sandwiches don't really appeal to the hubby, I generally add sauteed chicken, green peppers, mushrooms and onions to the pasta toss. It would also be amazing with grilled shrimp or some tender asparagus! Mmmm - I'm making myself hungry!
I want some of this right now. It looks fantastic!
