Biaggi's Alfredo Sauce

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1/8 cup butter
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic, puree
• 1/4 cup yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 dash ground nutmeg
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 cup cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3/8 cup fresh-grated parmesan cheese (use a 50/50 blend of parmesan & romano cheese if possible)
• 3 tablespoons cups fresh-grated asiago cheese

Recipe

• 1 melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat; add pureed garlic and diced onions; cook about five minutes until the onions are tender and translucent.
• 2 whisk in milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; slowly bring the mixture up to a boil stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
• 3 dissolve cornstarch in water; mix well so that there are no lumps; slowly add cornstarch mixture just as the sauce comes to a boil and whisk well; allow mixture to come back to a boil.
• 4 turn off heat and stir in the cheeses; blend well, even using a small hand blender if possible, for three or more minutes until sauce is very smooth.
• 5 note: you may use a regular blender if desired, but please be careful with the hot sauce and only puree one to two cups of it at a time ~ use of blender is not absolutely required.
• 6 taste sauce and season as desired; keep warm for immediate use or cool and store in refrigerator until needed.
