Olive Garden Copycat Alfredo Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 c. Half and Half, or 1 cup milk and 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 T. unsalted butter
• 1 t. garlic powder
• ½ c. freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
• ½ c. freshly shredded Romano cheese
• 4 large egg yolks
• ½ t. Kosher salt
• ½ t. fresh ground white or black pepper

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks until lightened in color. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, whisk together butter, garlic and Half & Half. Pour into a medium saucepan, cook over medium heat, stirring often, and bring it to a simmer. Add cheeses, whisk to combine. Remove from heat.
3. Slowly pour 1 cup of cheese mixture into egg yolks, while continually whisking. Be careful to pour slowly and whisk while pouring to prevent eggs from scrambling.
4. Pour egg mixture back into saucepan, whisk until well- combined. Add salt and pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Alfredo sauce will thicken as it cools.
5. Serve over your favorite pasta.
