Copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce
You can recreate Olive Garden Alfredo sauce at home in only 20 minutes! This rich, creamy, cheesy sauce makes a fantastic fettuccine Alfredo—but you can use it as a dipping sauce for breadsticks, too.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
- 6 tablespoons butter cubed
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
- 2 large egg yolks lightly beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon each pepper and ground nutmeg
- Minced fresh parsley optional
Instructions
- Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, egg yolks, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until a thermometer reads 160° (do not boil).
- Drain fettuccine; combine with Alfredo sauce and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
