Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (room temperature, cubed)
• 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated preferred)
• 0.5 cups Grated Pecorino Romano cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground white pepper (optional, for subtle heat)
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (freshly grated)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly pour in the heavy cream and whole milk. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Add the cubed cream cheese. Whisk continuously until the cream cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses, about 1/4 cup at a time, ensuring each addition fully melts before adding the next. This will prevent clumping and result in a silky sauce.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt, white pepper (if using), and freshly grated nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 7

Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Be careful not to boil the sauce to prevent it from separating.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the heat. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the hybrid Alfredo sauce immediately over your favorite pasta, grilled chicken, or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
