Description:

 A new turn for this classic cheese sauce with the addition of Pear Foods Piquant Peppercorn spice blend. The end result is a newer and bolder Alfredo with memorable taste, you and your family will appreciate for years to come. 

Ingredients:

• Make Piquant Alfredo Pasta Sauce:
• 1/3 c butter (unsalted)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1/2 tsp Pear Foods Piquant Peppercorn spice blend
• 11/4 c heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/8 tsp salt (add to taste)
• 3/4 c parmesan (grated cheese)

• Make Fettuccine Pasta:
• 1/3 lb. fettuccine pasta (cook the pasta as per the directions on the pasta package)
• Water (as needed)
• Salt (as needed)

Directions:

• Make-It-Easy Pointers:
• Have your MiseEnPlace (ingredients + utensils) ready before you start cooking.
• When adding ingredients especially salt and chili spice to the cooking pot, always remember to add in incremental amounts, because it will get difficult if overdone.
• Also, a good balance of salt, sugar (if added), spice and chili heat (if added) is quintessential for obtaining the best taste results for a dish.

• Make Piquant Alfredo Pasta Sauce:
• Set the cooktop to medium heat. To a hot sauce pan, add butter. In melted butter, add garlic cloves. Sauté it for 1 minute. Do not let the garlic brown.
• Reduce the cooktop heat to low. Add the Pear Foods Piquant Peppercorn Spice Blend and bloom it in the butter for about 15 - 45 seconds, until it develops a nice aroma.
• Add the heavy cream and bring it to a low boil. Add the Italian seasoning and the salt and mix well. Return the heat to medium low on the cooktop
• Cook the cream for 4 minutes by whisking it well. This whisking action avoids the cream from sticking to the bottom of the pan. 
• Turn off the heat and add the parmesan cheese to the heavy cream. Stir the cheese into the cream with a whisk for about 1 - 2 minutes.

• Fold in warm pasta into the Alfredo sauce:
• Cook the fettuccine pasta as per the directions on the back of the pasta package.
• Fold the pasta in the cream sauce until it thoroughly coats all of the pasta.
• Serve warm Piquant Fettuccini Alfredo and enjoy.

Variations:

• Try Piquant Peppercorn spice in the place of pepper while cooking your other dishes.
