Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pesto Perfection 🌿Use high-quality, freshly made pesto for the most vibrant flavor—homemade or from a refrigerated section is always better than jarred shelf-stable versions.
- Pasta Water Magic 💧Always reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining, as its starchy consistency helps bind the sauce and create a silky, clingy texture for your Alfredo.
- Cheese Melting Technique 🧀Grate your Parmesan and mozzarella fresh and add them gradually off the heat to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Garlic Infusion Trick 🧄Mince garlic super fine or use a microplane to release maximum flavor, and sauté it briefly in butter until just fragrant to avoid bitterness.
- Cream Temperature Control 🥄Bring heavy cream to room temperature before adding to the sauce to prevent sudden temperature drops and ensure a more even, consistent mixture.
