Do you have a recipe? That looks freaking delicious.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 8 garlic cloves, minced or to taste
• 2 c heavy cream
• 1/4tsp white pepper
• 1/2c fresh shredded parm
• 3/4 c shredded mozzarella
• 1 cup pasta water

DIRECTIONS

• Melt butter & olive oil over med/low heat.
• Add garlic, cream, white pepper, and bring to simmer. Stirring often.
• Add parm cheese and simmer 8-10 mins or until sauce is thickened and smooth.
• Add mozzarella and stir frequently. Do not burn.
• Turn off and take off heat. It will thicken up more as it sits. Taste and add garlic powder/salt if needed.
• Add pasta water as needed.

I replied to the wrong comment lol, but thank you!

You can play around with the amount of mozzarella and pasta water to get the silky texture you prefer.

Dang that looks creamy AF

OMG! looks so delicious

Ya gotta cream that cine!

DAYUM! I love pasta and this looks absolutely divine!

Mozzarella? Interesting. I find the white pepper interesting too. Since I was an OG trainer, I always default to that recipe. The ratios were always in size of containers basically. So depending on how much I need, depends on the ratios. But at a minimum I start with 1/2 cup of butter. Lol

Gorgeous.

I was just about to ask for this thank you

The mozzarella with pasta water combo is what gives the sauce that silky look.

I would vacuum this up if I was there

Shit that looks good.

Try adding nutmeg. Alfredo is my childhood comfort food. I went through years of trying to add in hot sauce, garlic, white pepper searching for the flavor I was looking for. Finally checked a recipe (from Marcella Hazan for those interested) and learned the spice I had been searching for was nutmeg.

Is that red pepper and basil on top?

That looks so delicious!

Wait, isn't this just macaroni and cheese without the white wine?

made meh belly laugh

This is pretty close to my own recipe, with the only major differences being I use parm + romano, no mozzarella, and a pinch of fresh nutmeg.

If I am making it with the intention to reheat, I also add sodium citrate as an emulsifier, though it changes the texture (it makes sauces silky and velvety - and is the secret ingredient for perfect mac & cheese).

Yummy yummy :)

Red pepper and parsley.

I have used sodium citrate to make mac and cheese but with this recipe there isn’t any left overs to reheat. 😁

That sauce is so glossy! Did you use a Lightbox? I only ask because I have one that I use for some of my food photos.

I don’t use a Lightbox, but I should look into making one.

I love mine, it was pretty cheap but I bet it would also be easy enough to make.

Looks freaking delish!! It’s 9:50am here and I want this for breakfast now.

This would put you back to sleep but it would be worth it.

Looks amazing 😍

I'd break into your home and eat the leftovers

Sorry to break it to you but there aren’t any leftovers when I make this recipe. In fact, my family complains I don’t make enough.

Just made them, really good but also super heavy food.

I agree that it’s heavy but it’s so good.

🤭

That looks good! When you say pasta water, do you mean the water that the pasta is being boiled with or ?? Do you also boil the pasta with salt and olive oil also?

It's the water used to boil the pasta. The starch in the water stabilizes and thickens the sauce.

You should also always salt your water as well though.

Next time make enough for your family.. and for me too🥺

I need it

Looks like I'm saving this post so that I can forget about it and never make it.

It took me 3 or 4 tries to get the consistency the way I wanted so if you aren’t committed then just enjoy the picture. 😁

Thanks for the info. We will try it next time
