Thing you’ll need

  • Parmesan

  • Cream
  • Butter
  • Shallots
  • Garlic
  • Black pepper

Instruction

  1. Scrub the cheese.

At first, you will have something relatively thick, showing some cheese crumbs. It is not Alfredo yet.

Then there will be something liquid. It is not Alfredo either.

In no case increase the fire and do not lose hope. Everything is going according to plan, and it should be!

The main thing is not to rush and stir the sauce from time to time with a spatula. Sooner or later, it will boil and bond into something like a liquid custard. It is Alfredo sauce.

To prepare a classic sauce, we used a combination of two kinds of cheese: parmesan and pecorino. However, you can replace them with any hard sheep cheese.
