Alfredo Sauce

Alfredo sauce with penne pasta

A sauce so creamy, smooth, and cheesy it’ll piss off Italians. And satisfy Americans.

I like to serve it with pasta and portabello mushrooms.

Tools

Weighing scale
Blender
Microplane

Ingredients

15g (1 tbsp) of heavy cream. It’s just to ensure the blender blade moves.
10g sodium citrate. Sodium citrate is an emulsifier. It’s the ingredient in nacho cheese that allows it to boil without curdling. This will ensure when it’s re-heated, it’ll keep its smooth texture.
Zest of a 1/2 lemon
3g msg
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp garlic powder
454g 0% cottage cheese
30g full fat whipped cream cheese
112g parmesan
Salt & pepper to taste
Fresh Parsley for garnish

Prep

Grate the cheeses
Weigh out all the ingredients into a blender

Steps

Blend the ingredients until smooth
If pairing with pasta, be sure to cook the pasta 1 minute less than the box says. Save 1-2 TBSP of the water the pasta cooked in (per serving) to mix through when heating. The sauce will coat the pasta better. The extra minute of cooking the pasta needs will be done with the alfredo sauce and pasta water
