Blender Alfredo Pasta & Pizza Sauce
Made in a high-speed blender (Vitamix) with simple ingredients and perfect for homemade mac & cheese, pouring over grilled chicken, and pizzas.
Equipment
- 1 High-Speed Blender, Vitamix or any other blender with a heating/cooking setting.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter, salted
- 2 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, gluten free may be substituted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, or 5 whole peppercorns
Instructions
- Heat a small frying pan on medium-low and melt the butter. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Just until it starts to soften, being careful to stir and not burn. After a minute or so, pour the butter and garlic into the blender.
- Add the remaining ingredients and set the blender to the cook/soup setting or the equivalent of your particular machine (follow the manufacturer's directions as needed). Turn it on and let it process the sauce, when it is finished it will automatically stop.
- Remove from the base of the blender and carefully pour into a large 20 oz. jar or a glass/heat safe dish. You can use it right away for your pasta or pizza dishes or let cool, then store in the fridge for up to 5 days. It will thicken as it cools.
