Better Than Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce

With the weather so hot, hot, hot out lately I haven't wanted to bake anything in the oven.
So since this recipe doesn't take long cooking on the stove top it doesn't heat up the house too much.

This recipe is great to make any day though whether its hot or cold out.
Make it with some garlic toast too!

Better Than Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce


Yield: 4-6 servings


Ingredients:


5 tbsp. sweet butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 tsp. white pepper ( I just used black)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1 ( 12 ounce) box angel hair pasta ( i used fettuccine)


Directions:


Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
Add the garlic, cream, white pepper and bring mixture to a simmer. Stir often.
Add the parmesan cheese and simmer sauce for 8-10 minutes or until sauce has thickened and is smooth.
When sauce has thickened add the mozza cheese and stir until smooth. Stir frequently. While the sauce cooks, boil noodles. 
Place pasta on serving plates and spoon sauce over pasta.
