Easy Poblano Alfredo Sauce Food

ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan or skillet, warm the butter and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan and stir until melted.
• Toss to combine, thinning with pasta water if necessary.

QUICK AND EASY ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.

QUICK ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the flour and garlic salt into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth. Slowly beat the half and half into the sauce until completely incorporated. Stir the garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese into the sauce, whisking continually. Bring the sauce to a simmer; cook, stirring regularly, until the sauce has thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Use immediately or refrigerate.

QUICK ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add cream; return to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened slightly, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely before using or storing. Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days (if too stiff to spread easily, rewarm slightly before using).

EASY POBLANO ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• After you have roasted 2 green pablano/pasilla chilies under the broiler and let them cool in a plastic bag, remove the skin and seeds and wash them.
• Put the chilies in a food processor and puree as much as possible.
• Add a 16 oz. jar of alfredo sauce and puree again.
• Pour the sauce into a medium-size saucepan and heat over medium heat until just hot. Serve over pasta. I served it over some penne pasta. Serve parmesan cheese on the side, as desired.
• This would be even better if you made homemade alfredo sauce. You could also add pieces of grilled chicken to the sauce if desired, although I haven't tried it that way.

POBLANO CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Lay whole peppers (chiles or bell peppers) on their sides on racks of gas stove burners (preferably 1 to a burner) and turn flame on high. Roast peppers, turning them, until skins are blistered and have brown patches, 3 to 6 minutes. Do not overchar bell peppers; they will lose their bright color. (Alternatively, peppers may be roasted in same manner on rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from heat.) Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle. Peel peppers (wear rubber gloves when handling chiles). Cut off tops and discard seeds and ribs. Chop peppers. Peppers may be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Chop garlic and chop enough onion to measure 1 cup. In a nonstick skillet cook garlic and onion in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Skim fat from broth. Stir in broth and peppers and simmer 1 minute. In a blender puree mixture until completely smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids) and season with salt.
