Copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Pin to Pinterest

I think I could visit Olive Garden every week. Their endless soups and salads really are the best. Since the restaurant is far away from my home, I had to perfect the dressing at home and think I did a pretty good job with this Copycat Olive Garden Dressing. If you love copycat recipes as much as my home, try this Copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce. We made this recipe with fresh shrimp (we do live in Florida), but if you use the frozen shrimp, thaw it out ahead.

Ingredients:

Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced Garlic
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 beaten Egg Yolk
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Pasta & Toppings:

  • 8 oz Fettuccine
  • 6 Medium Raw Shrimp (thawed if frozen)
  • 2 oz Broccoli pieces


Directions:

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
  2. Steam fresh or frozen broccoli.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  4. Drizzle shrimp with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cook for 7-8 minutes.
  6. In a skillet or large pan over medium heat, combine butter, garlic, cream and milk.
  7. Cook just until ready to boil and remove from heat.
  8. Temper egg yolk by taking a few spoons of liquid from pan and whisking into egg yolk to raise temperature without scrambling it.
  9. Add tempered egg yolk and Parmesan to pan and whisk to incorporate.
  10. You can gradually add a little more milk if too thick.
  11. Add in pasta and gently toss to combine.
  12. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  13. Transfer to plate and add broccoli and shrimp.
  14. Garnish with additonal Parmesan and parsley.
