How to Make Italiano Alfredo Sauce

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  2. Gradually whisk in the warm heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or cream at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, or use as a sauce for poultry, vegetables, or veal.
