- Hello, welcome back,
I'm Jill at the Carefree Kitchen
and today I'm gonna be showing
you how to make a super easy
and delicious sun dried
tomato Alfredo sauce,
and this Alfredo sauce is perfect
for dipping breadsticks in,
you can put it on fettuccine
with some chickens
or you can put it on
some vegetable noodles
for a low carb dinner option.
(soft music)
All right, before we get started,
be sure to follow me
on social media and I will
show you all kinds of easy
and delicious recipes your
entire family will love.
Okay, so to get started, let
me show you my ingredients.
So the base for my fettuccine
is some heavy whipping cream,
I'm also gonna add quite a
bit of chicken broth to it,
and some sun dried tomatoes
and this is one that is in olive oil
and you can get the kind that's jarred
or you can get the
stuff that's in packages
that's like dried sun dried tomatoes
and then you just mix that
up with chicken broth.
But you're going to need a
really good blender for that,
so I am using a Vitamix today,
you could also just slice
these up like dice them
up in little pieces,
my kids really like it
if everything is pureed
and there are no chunks,
so that's what I'm doing today.
And then I have Parmesan cheese,
this is two cups of Parmesan
cheese and some garlic salt,
I've got some salt pepper
and then some nutmeg.
Here's the nutmeg I have
and I'm just gonna use a pinch of this
and it adds just so much depth
to this amazing Alfredo sauce.
Okay, so the first thing I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna put two cups
of cream into my sauce pan
and I'm cooking it on medium,
medium high because I want it
to boil for about two minutes
and that's gonna evaporate
some of the liquid out of the cream
and it will make it a little bit thicker.
Here's my sun dried tomatoes
and I'm just gonna put
three or four of those
into the blender
and some chicken broth into the blender
and I'm going to blend my
sun dried tomatoes off.
If you don't have kids
or your kids don't mind a few chunks,
then they're really yummy
to have a little bits
in you're Alfredo sauce,
but my kids are so picky about chunks,
so we just blend everything up right now.
All right, so I'm just
gonna estimate here about
a cup of that and then I'll
just crab out three or four,
One, two, three.
I'm gonna do a little bit more.
So this can kinda depend on how much
sun dried tomato you want
in your Alfredo sauce.
I like mine pretty rich,
because I feel like
regular Alfredo sauce is
just a little bit bland,
so I want a lot of flavor in there.
All right, and then I'm
just going to blend this up.
(blender roaring)
Okay, and as you can see,
my cream has started to boil,
so I'm just gonna boil
like this for like a minute
and a half or two
just so that some of that
liquid can evaporate.
While that's boiling,
I'm just going to add like a
half a teaspoon of garlic salt,
this is a pinch of nutmeg
and then a pinch of pepper
too just black pepper.
Stir that up.
Okay, so now that's boiling
and I am just going to add
in my sun dried tomato.
Kinda rich, thick of that is,
okay, I'm going to stir
that up a little bit
(soft music)
And this recipe only
takes about 10 minutes
to throw together,
so just the time that it
takes your noodles to boil,
you can have your Alfredo sauce ready.
Okay, and then I'm
going to add by two cups
of Parmesan cheese
and this was about six ounces,
if you're buying it pre-shredded,
and you can use half shredded
half of the granulated stuff too,
you know this is a
really forgiving recipe.
All right, so now I'm
just gonna stir this up
until all my Parmesan cheese melts
and then (celebrates) it's ready.
If you love Alfredo sauce,
you are going to love the sun
dried tomato Alfredo sauce.
It's the most delicious
and flavorful homemade Alfredo
sauce you will ever make.
It has the creaminess of
a traditional Alfredo,
but with so much more flavor.
It's a perfect blend of
cheese and sun dried tomatoes.
