Cream Cheese Alfredo Sauce

Don't you just LOVE the Olive Garden's Fettuccine Alfredo??? The sauce is one of my favorite Alfredo sauces, and I figured out how to make a sauce that I LOVE just as much as theirs...I added portobello mushrooms, and garlic, you can easily skip those if that's not how you roll.



2 tabl. Butter
2 Portobello Caps thinly sliced
8 oz. Cream cheese
4 tabl. Butter
1 c. milk
6oz. Parmesan
1 garlic Clove crushed
1 tabl. minced fresh basil
White pepper to taste

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.Meanwhile, melt the cream cheese and 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in the milk and Parmesan cheese, mixing until smooth. Add in the garlic, basil, and white pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove the garlic. Stir in the cooked mushrooms before serving.
Toss with your favorite noodles.

  1. Do I need to wash the mushrooms?

  2. I wouldn't rinse them under water, I've heard it causes them to be "water logged". Instead I take a wet paper towel and gently wipe them off, making sure I clean the whole to of the mushroom.
