How to Make Creamy Alfredo Sauce | Allrecipes 

Lmao that tiny spoon of salt tho

girl if you don't put some more seasoning in that damn sauce

Add some parmesan to your parmesan.

Thank you for your question. The trick is to add the egg yolk slowly, while constantly stirring the sauce. That way it will incorporate with the sauce without scrambling. Enjoy!

Skip the egg, and add GARLIC!!

1:18 got me dead😂😂😂

Thanks for your question, Panharath kim. The nutmeg is the traditional seasoning ingredient for this pasta sauce, but you may omit it if you wish. Substitutes might be allspice, cinnamon or mace.

Make sure to temper the egg yolk before you put it in the saucepan. To do this, just add a little bit of the hot cream mixture into a bowl with the egg yolk, mix until warm, then add it back into the saucepan .This way, it won't cook the egg and get lumpy.

no garlic? that's the best part of alfredo! and garlic is mega yum yum yummy yummmmmmmm

I discovered this recipe yesterday then I made it for dinner tonight. It was delicious. Even my 2 year old and my 9 month old loved it. I will definitely make it again.

i almost cried at the dash of salt and seasoning lmao, then gone add all that parm cheese ...smh,,,u know u cant taste that dash of salt -_-

I made this tonight. I added a little garlic to the butter and heavily salted my noodles and it was so delicious!

Sooo... no garlic, and no freshly grated cheese. You just made egg nog with a dusting of parmesan powder... Hard pass, hard, hard pass.😞😞

Nice quick video, I added garlic to the butter too. As far as tempering the egg, if the egg is not too cold you can whisk it in but tempering works too. I cooked some chicken breasts sous vide for an hour then finished in skillet I used for my sauce, added a lil flavor and cut down on dirty dishes. For people wanting to omit eggs, you can always add a splash of pasta water, the starch will help thicken it naturally, you could also add a touch of corn starch to thicken the sauce but the egg adds richness and smooths the sauce (it's fat). Lil salt and pepper, and some fresh parsley never hurts. I'm a BBQ guy in Texas so take these tips for what they are worth My 9 year old boy loved it, and that's what matters at home.

Thank you for your question. You can use extra Romano cheese or Mozzarella cheese. Enjoy!

One of the best ! I've made this and my sister loved it ! Thanks

A few months ago I made this recipe and it was delicious! The second time I made it i sort of tweaked the recipe by skipping the egg and nutmeg, but it didn't have as much flavor. And yeah, next time, I'm definitely going to add garlic. It's my fav lol ❤🍽🍜😊

I had to rewatch this a couple times thinking I missed the part when you added the garlic... where is the garlic?

Most amazing recipe!! My husband and friends all love it when I make it. It took awhile to get the consistency right but after reading your responses of other questions I have mastered the recipe..thank you :)

absolutely love how it turned out

When the words “dash” & “pinch” is used accordingly in the cooking world 😭😭😂👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Yes, you can use milk instead of heavy cream. It might not turn out as thick or rich, but will still be delicious! Enjoy :)

Hello, Klang Asia - Adding grilled chicken slices sounds like a delicious idea! We recommend making the Alfredo sauce and tossing it with your favorite pasta, and then topping servings of pasta with the chicken. Yum!

Thank you for your question, Julie. Nutmeg is a very traditional ingredient in cream sauces. If you are not a fan of the nutmeg flavor, you can certainly leave it out of this recipe.

This looks like the most bland alfredo I've ever seen.

This recipe was so good, thanks a lot for this wonderful sauce recipe. I did some little adjusts but the result came out wonderful. I added 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, 1/8 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp garlic. I also added 2 to 3 tablespoons on top of the yellow to thin it out as recommended by a commenter over here to avoid any lumps. I used penne pasta in place of fettuccine, once the sauce was done, I put the pasta in the pan and I stir for like 2 minutes along with the sauce and I added like extra 1/2 cup of cheese to melt together & on top dry parsley to give a good taste :)

I made this tonight and it was delicious! I omitted the nutmeg bc I didn't have it. I added smoke paprika and cayenne for flavor. I really like the 2 cheeses. The Romano gives the dish a deep rich pungent flavor. This is a winner. Thank you for sharing!

I tried making it the exact same way today and wow it tastes very delicious with regular spaghetti and stir fried vegetables. Thanks a lot for posting the recipe. PS: with salt and pepper as required

Hi Brett, you can certainly add garlic, parsley and crushed pepper to this sauce. Great additions :)

1. Separate egg 2. Stir yolk Melt 3tbs butter Mix in with 1 cup of heavy cream Add salt Add nutmeg Add 1/2 cup of grated parm Stir till melted Add yolk of egg Mix Simmer for 3-5 min

I tried this and it was SO SO good! I agree with more than 5 stars! I didn't have any store bought heavy cream so i made some and adedd a pinch of flour and it thickend it instantly!

Made this today, and adapted as per the ingredients I had on hand. It tasted cheesy even though I didn't use cheese! First off, 3 tbsp butter with 2 tbsp all purpose flour. The resulting roux was heavier towards butter than flour. I added some milk, and boiled it down so it thickened slightly, and then added about 100 ml cream. And a lil stock that I had left after boiling chicken for the same dish. Added salt, pepper. When the mixture had reached almost its final desired thickness, I stirred in one egg yolk ever so slowly. And that was it. Really good, came together real quick. And probably the best success I've had with any bootleg version of the sauce. Edit: I did use garlic but that was when I put everything together - the veggies, the protein, the pasta.

No garlic? And what's with the egg, never heard of that in any recipe?

Oh goodnes. Okay first of all I want to say my husband has always loved my pastas.. shrimp alfredo and my spagettis But I didnt make things from scratch until now. Our 2 year of marriage. . I never knew alfredo sauce was so dam easy to make. You cant imagine how much of a goof ball I feel like. Not only does this recipe taste sooooo good im saving tons of $ .... thanks all recipes. Ive learnes lota from your page... love from durango, Mexico! P.s nope we dont all just eat mexican food lol

I love this recipe it’s so good and easy to make I just made it

Just tried this recipe for my family just multiplying the ingredients by 4 and everyone loved it!! Thank you 🙏🏽

SICK guitar riffs

I add garlic, but it is good

Thanks for your great suggestion! :)

Amazing I cooked it for my son and I tonight absolutely incredible!!

I am only 12 years old and LOVE to cook and bake! This recipe by far really wowed my family!

I'm italian and I wanted to know why did you say that Alfredo Sauce is from Italy. ALFREDO SAUCE DOESN'T EXIST HERE😅😅.Sorry for my english.

Thanks!!

just did it and wow it was so different and really is the best, i am on a diet and it makes wanna eat MORE of my spaghetti, meatballs and ALFREDO SAUCE

Garlic would be a great addition to this sauce! Enjoy :)

Looks fairly good, me, use fresh grated nutmeg, fresh garlic, remove one third of sauce and finish pasta in two thirds of sauce in pan, then pour over pasta with remaining sauce, also temper your egg yolk, surprised that it did not curdle/scramble when added to simmering cream

I had left over parm and Romano from a meatball recipe, so I thought I would grate and use it in this. I added garlic. This is now my recipe for chicken alfredo. Family loved it. THANKS A MILLION.

Thank you for this video me and my mom tryed it and it worked out! It was very yummy🤗

Is it okay to use garlic powder in this or no?

I'm liking how this sauce looks. However, I'm curious as to why they didn't add garlic because the best Alfredo sauce that I have tasted had garlic in it. :\ I'm going to try this either way!

good recipe to know, it looks so good

tried this recipe and its really good

Is the heavy cream also called heavy whipping cream or are those different?

I keep rewatching that dash of salt in disbelief🤣💀 1:18

I just made this recipe sauce for lunch Thank you! Awesome

Thank you for the great recepie i love it

It was good. I had to whisk real fast because my egg yolk started to scramble

May I ask , why the egg yoke? I have never heard of doing this before

I use a microwave and a blender to do this in about 2 minutes. heat the cream and melt the butter in the MW for about 45-60 seconds, put the egg yolk in the blender and the seasonings to the heated cream/butter mixture, stir, turn on the blender and slowly pour in the mixture. if you need to add some heat then just MW for another 30 seconds to a minute. works great and saves, time. thanks for the video.

Thank you, it’s been years since I’ve made sauce. I didn’t have cream so used the whole milk I have and BAM!

I was like yessss when I saw this and had ingredients but forgot I did’t have spaghetti.....

1:56 This made me wince, temper the egg folks or it will end in tears!

Was delicious, will definitely make it again

I made this recipe exactly like its supposed to be made last night but used fusilli noodles instead. The flavor is delicious but it is very oily bc of the butter. I am going to try again and omit the butter. Its the easiest recipe ever and tastes great so its a keeper.

**Italy left the chat*

Holy shit come on, you're supposed to tell people to temper the egg before they put it in or there will be a guaranteed hundreds of people frustrated with their grainy, lumpy alfredo sauce. Time to either re-do the video or put a caption that says to temper the egg yolk first.

I made it and the sauce is AMAZING

I'm soo excited to try this

Guys stop being so hard on her... It actually tasted sooooo good!!!

Nikoavocado brought me here...

Did it.super easy and tasty.

I finally tried this recipe and love, love, love it. I actually tweaked mine with cream cheese too. It was sooooo good, now makes me don't want to buy store brought anymore.

That is scrambled eggs

Can I use milk

It looks vwry good thank you and ill be trying this

This was amazing thank you!!

Translation: in a saucepan melt 3 tbl spoons of 90% fat. add one cup of 35% liquid fat and let it simmer a bit. add 2 more quarter cups of 30% solid fat and let that melt in. and at the end add 50g of 100% yellow liquid fat.

Oh pls.... What's this????

When I’m bored I look at food on RU-vid and I always regret everything cuz dayum this looks so damn good!🤤

i always use this recepi its amazing and i also add onions mushrooms, garlic and shrimp. Its so good😍

Even in Italian prisons they don't serve this kind of "dish". Cagare fuori dal vaso !

Was anyone else sitting there like this “😒🤨” the whole time?

I made this today and followed the recipe exactly. I didn't have any pasta, so I used egg noodles. It was delicious.

love it ! it's super easy

I always get the most vile gas when I eat alfredo sauce. I swear I could clear a city block with my ass.

Two words - Scrambled egges😐

I just made this and it was Soo good!!!!

i ligit got so hungry from this, gonna try this recipe out right now! 😋🍝

This is really delicous thanks

finally, something i can "try" to make...it looks good!

I just use any type of cream, some cream cheese, some Parmesan cheese and like 2 tbsp of garlic powder. Comes out soooo good!!!

This is awesome! It was so simple yet delicious! ❤❤❤

I have made one similar to this and I put ham in it - beautiful.

Thank you so much for the recipe, I live in France and I don't know how to make the Alfredo sauce, but it seems so good!!! I really want to taste it 🤤!! I will try your recipe, I'm sure I will have a very good meal 😋, thank you so much 😋🥰😋😋

Hi rachel. You can leave the nutmeg out if you prefer. It's usually used to enhance the flavor of cream based sauces.

@Allrecipes I have a few questions if you don't mind. How do I get the parmesan to fully melt? It came out tasty but I didn't like the texture because some of the cheese didn't fully melt. Also, I made this recipe for myself since I'm barely learning how to cook but my family tasted it and really liked it so I have been asked to make a large enough serving for about 5 people, how much of each ingredient wpuld I make to serve 5? I don't just want to double everything and call it a day because it might be a bit salty and I don't want to heavy of a parmesan taste. Last question, I want to add grilled chicken to this and I season the chicken with salt and pepper, so to not have to much salt and pepper in the taste do I cut the salt and pepper by half when making the sauce or do I just keep the sauce the same and just throw in the grilled chicken? I made this recipe after trying a few other recipes and this one is by far my personal favorite except I substituted the nutmeg for plain old black pepper because I didn't have nutmeg.

Thanks, I am going to make this for dinner tonight.

Could I substitute for the egg yolk with a small bit of flour to help thicken it?

The music reminds me of the game Diablo 1, interesting touches to the classic.

Such a simple sauce to make and you guys filled the bill for the folks that don't normally cook. It's like watching the overthinking on film.
