Ingredients

1. 1 1/2 cup milk
2. 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
3. 1/2 cup imported Parmesan cheese, grated
4. 1/2 cup imported Romano cheese, grated
5. 6 egg yolks from fresh jumbo eggs
6. Salt and black pepper to taste

Procedures

1. HEAT milk and cream in a heavy bottom saucepan until it begins to simmer. Turn off heat. Slowly whip in cheese, then remove from heat.
2. PLACE egg yolks in a separate bowl and slowly whip in a portion of the hot milk and cream mixture. Slowly add egg yolk mixture back into remaining cream mixture. Place back on very low heat and continually stir until simmering. Take sauce off heat so it thickens. (This will increase temperature of egg yolks, known as tempering).
3. SEASON to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve over your favorite pasta.

I love Alfredo Sauce, not the best for you but love it anyway.  That one is from Olive Garden and I have another one that is good also.  I love it with shrimp or chicken or plain, love to dip my bread sticks in Alfredo.

Alfredo Sauce #2

1/4 lb butter, melted (1 cube)

1 cup heavy cream, warm

3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated or canned

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

I melt the butter, them I warm the cream in the microwave.  I add the butter and the cheese and mix well and heat.

Pretty simple.  REALLY good.
