Saffron Alfredo Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
• Add pasta to sauce. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring large pot of water to a boil over medium heat.
• Preheat the oven to warm, about 200 degrees F. Put a large serving bowl or a platter, for the pasta, into the oven to warm.
• In a small pot over low heat, add the saffron threads and the stock. Let steep until ready to use.
• When the water boils, season with salt, add the pasta and cook to al dente. Just before draining, add a ladle of the starchy pasta water to the pot with the saffron stock. Drain the pasta.
• Remove the bowl or platter from the oven and scatter with the butter pats. Add the pasta and pour in the saffron liquid. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and toss for 1 minute. Add more cheese and continue to toss for another 1 to 2 minutes. Keep tossing until the pasta is evenly coated and cheese has melted into the saffron broth forming a creamy, lightly golden sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the cream and egg yolk together until combined; set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant and sizzling, about 2 minutes. Pour the cream mixture into the garlic butter, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk in the Parmesan little by little, and cook over medium, whisking frequently, until creamy and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with pepper.
