The basic Alfredo Sauce Recipe is a heated mix of butter,cream and Parmesan cheese. From this basic recipe, many variations have arisen and optional seasoningsadded according to the taste of the cook. Alfredo Sauce is also quite versatile and is especially goodwhen used in Shrimp Alfredo Recipes as well as over vegetables or left over chicken with sautedmushrooms. As with most things in life, better quality ingredients willgive a better result. Try to use the real cheese, authentic ParmigianoReggiano is ideal but ordinary Parmesan will do fine. The Fettuccini shouldideally be fresh (this cooks in about 2 minutes) but if you buy dryFettuccine then try to get the thinnest available.
