Olive Garden Copycat Alfredo Recipes

OLIVE GARDEN ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Boil the fettuccine according to package instructions. As the water preheats, begin the sauce.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
• Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
• Add the heavy cream in splashes, stirring continuously. Add the milk in the same manner.
• Bring to a gentle bubble, then reduce heat to low to bubble. It will continue to thicken as it simmers.
• Slowly stir in the cheese. Taste and season with salt/pepper if desired.
• Drain the pasta and carefully mix it into the sauce until well incorporated. The pasta will absorb the sauce and it will continue to thicken.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and serve!

COPYCAT OLIVE GARDEN™ CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.
• Add olive oil to a cast-iron grill pan over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter to hot pan, then quickly add chicken breasts to the pan, seasoning with 1 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper.
• Cook chicken breasts until golden on first side, then flip over. Cover the pan and reduce heat to medium, cooking until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 to 7 minutes on the second side. Place on a plate and cover with foil until cool enough to slice into strips.
• In a large, deep-sided skillet, melt remaining 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Add garlic to pan, cooking until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low. Season with remaining salt and pepper.
• Whisk flour into butter, stirring until no chunks remain. Slowly whisk in cream.
• Continue to cook just until sauce is steaming and slightly thickened. Whisk 1/2 cup Parmesan into sauce, stirring until smooth. Remove pan from heat and cover until ready to serve.
• To serve, place pasta in a serving bowl or on plates. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with sauce. Garnish with parsley and top with additional Parmesan, if desired.

OLIVE GARDEN FETTUCCINI ALFREDO (COPYCAT

Steps:

• Depending on how thick or thin of a sauce you like will depend on how much heavy cream you use add garlic to YOUR taste I love garlic so I use 2 heaping tablespoons.
• Over medium heat in a saucepan melt 1 stick of butter and add the entire container of Parmesan cheese and begin to whisk.
• Add garlic slowly.
• Add heavy cream, again whisking until no longer lumpy. At this temp it should come to a boil on its own. When it does, slowly add more heavy cream until the consistency YOU desire, and then remove from heat.
• Immediately pour over pasta and enjoy !

COPYCAT OLIVE GARDEN SEAFOOD ALFREDO RECIPE

Steps:

• Start the water for the fettuccine pasta. Cook as per package directions until just shy of al dente (it will be added to the sauce later and will continue to cook). If the pasta is done too early, drain and set aside while reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid just in case the sauce is too thick.
• As the water is starting for the pasta, combine the butter and cream in a large pot or a wide skillet with tall edges (like the one in my picture). Heat over medium until the butter is melted into the cream.
• Turn heat down to medium low. Add the nutmeg to the cream and butter mixture. Whisk to combine.
• Add the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste (cheese is salty, so make sure you do not salt until after the Parmesan is added).
• Add the shrimp, scallops, and pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time to loosen the sauce (or cream). If too thin, let it cook a little longer. This should be enough time for the small seafood to cook (see note).
• Remove from heat. Serve immediately.
