Steamy Blender Alfredo Sauce and Cheddar Cheese Sauce

Hot, Steamy and Ultra Creamy Alfredo Sauce in 6 Minutes!!

(…and no standing at the stove, stirring and stirring…)  Once it’s finished you can add some cheddar cheese to transform the alfredo sauce to a cheese sauce!  Pour over cooked elbow macaroni for mac and cheese!  (I baked mine for about 20 minutes at 350 F to get all nice and bubbly.) This recipe utilizes a high speed/high performance blender.  I used the KitchenAid High Performance Blender (3 Peak HP). As long as your blender is the type that can use its high speed/friction to make hot soups, you should be able to make these sauces.

Instructions

1. In a small skillet sauté garlic in butter for 30 seconds - 1 minute or until softened, then add to blender.
2. Add milk, cream, cream cheese, flour, Parmesan, salt and pepper.
3. Turn blender on high/MAX.  In about 30 seconds the mixture may thicken and need to be tamped down.  Blend on MAX speed until it automatically shuts off – 6 min.  (This is a feature of the KitchenAid High Speed Blender.  For other blenders, turn off after 6-minutes or when hot and steamy.)
4. The sauce will thicken even more as it rests.
5. To make cheese sauce, add cheddar cheese after the blender automatically shuts off /when alfredo sauce is finished and blend on MAX for about 1 minute or until all cheese is combined.
