Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce


Okay so I know I haven't blogged in a very long time but I have an excuse..kind of..well..sort of..well..not really..haha..
I got  a HUGE virus on my laptop and it took a day or two  for hubby to fix it. After that I was trying to figure out where I had downloaded this big bug from and had NO idea so I was afraid to go to places like my blog and Pinterest.
Anyway, then I just got out of the habit of sitting down and putting the recipes on here. I haven't forgotten to take pictures or try new recipes though! So watch out here come a bunch! (hopefully!!!)
This is what we had for dinner tonight.
 
Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce

  1 pkg Pasta (penne or fettuccine)

 1 stick of butter

 1 clove of minced garlic(I used 1 teaspoon minced garlic in the jar)

 1 pint of heavy cream (I used heavy whipping cream)

 1 cup of fresh Parmesan cheese

 2 tbsp cream cheese

 1/4 tsp salt

 1/2 tsp white pepper

  Make Pasta to your liking.

 In a sauce pan over medium heat – melt butter and add garlic and cook for two minutes, then add in heavy cream and cream cheese and heat until bubbling, but do not boil. (This step took about 10 min. or a little longer of constant stirring so the milk didn't burn on the bottom of the pan)

 Add in Parmesan Cheese and mix until the cheese melts. (Mine melted right away)

 Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste (you don;t need to use all of this, do to your liking).

 Mix the hot sauce into the noodles and serve. Just like Olive Garden. {copy cat} (I added the chicken here)

 recipe found at Budget Savvy Diva

 
I put frozen chicken in the crock pot with some Italian Salad dressing and let it cook while we went to church and ran some errands. After I made the Alfredo Sauce and noodles I shredded the chicken and then added the chicken to the Alfredo and noodles. I topped it with some parmesan cheese. This was really good. The sauce was very creamy and had good flavor. I don't know if it tasted like Olive Gardens or not but it was good! I served this with some French bread that I made yesterday and would have been good with a tossed salad.
