This week, on page 42 in our book DSC_0355 A Taste of Utica, Rainie Piccione posted the lightest of Alfredo sauce recipes.  It’s not heavy and doesn’t consume you in a plethora of flavors.  It is a perfect sauce and texture complement to a good starch and or a good protein.

  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 TBS onion, minced
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • black pepper to taste (if you prefer to keep the sauce white, no black flecks, use white pepper)

Directions:  Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.  Add onion, cook for 4 minutes.  Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes.  Stir in the cream and reduce heat to medium low.  Stir in Parmesan cheese and add the pepper to taste.  Serve over cooked pasta or broiled chicken breasts.
