Note

Al Dente Pasta - this term refers to cooking pasta that is firm on the inside. To achieve this status, follow these instructions:

Use a large pot.
Pre-boil and salt the water.
Check pasta frequently for doneness.
Drain pasta immediately when it is tender on the outside with a pinpoint of white at the core.

Storing and Using Leftover Alfredo Sauce

Whether you save the extra cup of sauce this recipe produces or make the sauce ahead of time, store it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator.

Pasta isn’t the only way to use this sauce, though. You can use it as a dip or topping for everything from grains to vegetables, potatoes, and more.
