CHEF JEAN'S ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large sautee pan bring the half and half to a boil, be careful it will spill over if you don't stop it in time.
• Remove from heat and sprinkle in the gorgonzola, pepper and lemon zest. Stir once.
• Add the parmesean a handful at time and whisk until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is thickend adding more parmesean if needed.
• Return to very low heat if the cheeses did not melt all the way, do not bring back to a boil.

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• For the bechamel: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium flame. Add the flour and whisk until the texture of wet sand is achieved. Lower the heat to low, add the cloves and nutmeg and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the whole milk and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• For the fettuccine alfredo: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Add the pasta and begin to cook.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the shallots and garlic until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the bechamel sauce, along with 1 cup of the pasta water.
• When the pasta is 80 percent cooked, add it to the saute pan and simmer until the sauce is thickened and the pasta is al dente. Toss with the cheeses and parsley, and season with salt and pepper.

TO DIE FOR FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
• Add pasta to sauce. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.

ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place butter in microwave safe pot and heat on high for 30 seconds or until melted.
• Add cream and warm on high for approximately 1 minute.
• Add Parmesan cheese and warm until cheese melts.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. (If serving with shrimp, you might not need much salt.).
• Pour over 4 servings of warm noodles (I use angel hair) and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
• Notes: I serve it with cubed, grilled or broiled chicken breast mixed in with the noodles or shrimp. Add a green salad and you have a complete meal. I have used margarine and canned Parmesan cheese and it worked fine.
