Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat
Add the olive oil, swirl to combine
Add the garlic, seasoning, and cook until fragrant
Add the cream and pepper, bring to a low simmer. Stirring often
Add the Parmesan cheese and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce smooth and thick.
While the sauce is cooking, prepare the noodles according to package directions
Place cooked/drained pasta into the sauce and toss to coat.
Serve on heated plates, passing grated parmesan, cracked black pepper, and minced parsley as garnishes.
Again a basic recipe.
One can add so many things here:
- Cooked Chicken
- Chopped Ham
- Crumpled Bacon
- Green Peas
- Grated Mozzarella cheese
- Pepper Flake
Service has many options; I dumped the pasta alfredo into a baking dish, covered it with bread crumbs, and baked until the sauce was bubbling and the crumbs were brown.
