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

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!

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

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.

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 -_-

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

[jdagrees]

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