What I'm eating tonight

[Pobeka]

Alfredo sauce
---------------

1 cup shreaded parmesian
1/4 cup shreaded romano
2/3 cup cream

4 tbsp butter.
2 heads garlic, pureed

Melt butter on med heat, add garlic. Grind some fresh pepper in there too.

After 3 minutes or so, add the cream. bring to soft boil. Dump in the cheese.

Serve over pasta. This is incredibly potent stuff, you don't need much on each serving. This makes 6-8 servings.

1. That sounds like something so easy even I

could make it....May have to bookmark this thread and try this soon.

Thank you Pobeka!

2. Yes, it's painfully easy to make. And absolutely delicious.

I go to melt butter right now...

4. mmmmmmmm

I use a similar recipe and every once in a while if I have a sweet tooth, I top it off with a drop of sherry

5. Cool. A chef told me to find some white truffle olive oil to add to it

but I have never found a bottle of white truffle olive oil

6. A good Italian Market will carry it

7. Thanks. Anyone in Seattle/Tacoma know of a good Italian market?

8. Do you have a Trader Joe's near you?

They carry a very nice white truffle oil for $8.99 (which is considerably less than you'll find it in a gourmet store).

I looooove TJs...they also carry high-quality vanilla beans cheaper than I've ever seen anywhere else. I make a killer creme brulee, and you've GOTTA have vanilla bean if you're going to do it right. Two lovely beans in an airtight glass jar for $3.79 at TJs...$10 and up anywhere else.

Okay, that's all for tonight's free TJs advertisements! :P

on edit: go VERY lightly with the truffle oil--just the tiniest of drizzles. It's potent (but tasty) stuff, and it's easy to over-do.

9. I looked at TJ's and could not find it.

But it was busy, and I was in a rush, so I didn't have time to ask for help.

I'll go look again, and ask.
