Notes

Easy Homemade Alfredo Sauce
If you're feeling ambitious and want to make your own Alfredo sauce, here's an easy way to throw it together. For a pound of pasta, place 1/2 cup of room temperature butter into the middle of a pasta serving plate/bowl and flatten it. Then, top with the warm cooked pasta and mix around in the butter. Add 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, along with 2 ounces of pasta water. Mix together until silky and creamy, and season to taste with salt and pepper. I use this method in my steak and shrimp Alfredo and it's so freakin' delicious!
