Many of you have enjoyed our Spicy Diavolo Sauce recipe, so we figured we’d take another stab at a classic .....

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Madrona Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 3/4 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 1/2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 Cups Freshly Grated Parmesan

Directions

  1. 1

    Collect all of the spices for the seasoning. This will take the longest, so be sure to do this first, even if you've got a good feel for your spice rack.

  2. 2

    Combine all dry ingredients into a small bowl to make adding it to the sawce easier. Set aside.

  3. 3

    This is a personal preference, but I slice the butter into smaller pieces. So do that, or don't. Whatever.

  4. 4

    Add butter (sliced OR NOT) and cream into your cooking vessel. A large saucepan or skillet will do.

  5. 5

    Get a slow simmer going on low heat for 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    With a whisk, begin adding all non-cheese elements into the liquid. Whisk it in there nicely for easy distribution. Don't feel like you have to be super careful, but don't just dump it in like a monster.

  7. 7

    Begin adding your freshly grated cheese into the sauce, whisking it in nicely.

  8. 8

    The sauce should begin to thicken up with the addition of cheese, but keep going, you've got more cheese.

  9. 9

    Finish whisking in the cheese until everything is melted and a nice consistency, then serve over pasta immediately.

  10. 10

    Bask in the glory of a unique alfredo sauce that all your friends will talk about forever. This is your legacy. Well done.
