Being as obsessed with the Italian culture as I am (I blame Giada De Laurentiis), I easily became enamored with Alfredo. Not being a huge fan of the local takes on it, I set out to master it to my liking. Please note that I am not Italian, nor have I ever visited Italy (yet), so this is simply my version of the classic Italian dish.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup penne pasta (my personal favorite)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup + 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves (boiled or roasted)
1/4 stick of butter
1/4 cup corn kernels
1/4 cup mushrooms
Method:
1. Boil pasta with garlic cloves
2. When pasta is boiled until the Al Dente stage, drain & mash garlic cloves. Set aside.
3. Sauté corn and mushrooms in butter.
4. Add mashed garlic cloves to vegetables & sauté
5. Add cream
6. Add 1 cup of cheese & stir until melted
7. Add pasta to sauce, making sure all pieces are coated
8. Garnish with remaining parmesan cheese if desired
9. Serve hot & enjoy!
