Alfredo Sauce

A little of this traditional and creamy sauce goes a long way.
Pair it with any type of pasta, in addition to the standard fettuccine.
Makes about 2 cups
2 cups heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
3 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded
4 ounces mascarpone
½ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1. Put the heavy cream and garlic into a medium saucepan and place
over medium heat. Keep an eye on the cream – once it just comes
to a boil, reduce heat immediately in order to maintain a steady
simmer. Cream will boil over if temperature is not reduced.
2. Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes. Cream should be reduced
and thickened.
3. Stir in the cheeses with the mascarpone. Stir over low heat until
incorporated and thickened. Season with the pepper and nutmeg.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning according to preference.
