SIMPLE ALFREDO SAUCE, YOUR CHOICE OF PASTA...#FOODFIGHTFRIDAY

Greetings to all my #foodie friends. Happy Friday and Happy Holidays to all my #steemit pals.

There is nothing more pleasurable to me than having all my family together in one place, under one roof then cooking up a storm. I don't know about anyone else, but with my family, the best times often center around food and the kitchen table. Seems the natives get restless just before I ring the dinner bell. Once everyone gets their chow, conversations are much calmer and certainly more pleasant.🤷‍♀️😄

I prepared a simple Alfredo sauce...

Here are the ingredients:

3 garlic cloves finely chopped
3 tbls. butter
1 cup of thickened cream, I used 1/2 cup of heavy cream plus one 12oz. can of evaporated milk
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
1/4 cup Romano cheese grated
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of salt.

So here's how it goes, pay attention you men folk, even you guys could manage this one(I hope)🙄

In a large sauce pan melt the butter, sauté the garlic. Slowly add heavy cream, evaporated milk, stir in the salt, nutmeg and both of the grated cheeses. Now here's the tricky part, guys are you listening? You must continue to stir constantly, making sure all the cheese has melted and blended nicely. Once you have a smooth consistency stir in the egg yolk. Stir, stir, and stir some more. The sauce will then start to thicken, once you have a nice blend lower your heat, I mean the lowest setting you can get from your stove top. Then cover, and simmer for only 3-5 minutes, be careful not to scorch it, if you do, just chuck it out and start over.🤦‍♀️😜

Wanting to add a little more color and flavor, I chopped up some carrots, onions and broccoli.

Steamed them up to perfection!

Now with such a big family, not everyone likes linguine, which is always @thebigsweeds first choice.

So being the best mom and grammy ever...oh boy...hehe. I made three different pastas. My grand daughter Ava loves rigatoni, I prefer orzo and so does my daughter Erica but all my men folk like those thick pasta strings, linguine.

I added a nice side of cold beets, they taste like candy, so good.

Viola...Simple Alfredo sauce...served here over linguine.

And if there is sauce, ya gotta have this to clean up your plate .

So there you have it all you finger lickin' food freaks. Hope your mouths are watering and you have a pleasant food coma.

Wishing all of you the best Holidays ever!

Remember, no matter how hot it gets in the kitchen arena, there's no hitting below the belt.😏😘🎄✌🎅🤶💕
