Photo: Penne Parmesan Alfredo Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, minced
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup hot milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 pound penne pasta
- 1 (8-ounce) package frozen peas, blanched in salt water
- Salt and white pepper
Directions
Bring a pot of water to boil for the pasta.
For the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan which will be large enough to accommodate the pound of cooked pasta, and saute onion until it becomes translucent. Mix in the flour to make a roux. Gradually add milk and allow thickening over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in Parmesan. Immediately cover surface of sauce with a sheet of plastic wrap and set aside briefly.
Boil the pasta until al dente and drain. Add the cooked pasta and the blanched peas to the pan containing the sauce and fold to coat pasta. Season with salt and pepper, as needed.

My dogs will never forgive me for trying this recipe and my garbage disposal won't either. This recipe had to be a misprint.

i should have listened to the reviews. it turned out to be a runny concotion and i noticed the floury taste as well. i tried everything i could to get it out. i added so much garlic and onion powder along with salt and pepper. i added more milk than what the recipe calls for also. i added two the first time and then decided to try a third cup. i don't recommend using this recipe. i was hoping it would turn out good because i didn't have any cream in my house. i love alfredo but this is not the way i was expecting it to taste.

The sauce was a thick glob. How are people rating this excellent? No way! I made this exactly to the recipe and it just dosent work. Skip this one and move on. I cant believe the first reviewers ever made this. They must be relatives of Robert.
