Better Than Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce

5 tablespoons sweet butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese

1. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
2. Add the garlic, cream, white pepper and bring mixture to a simmer.
3. Stir often.
4. Add the Parmesan cheese and simmer sauce for 8-10 minutes or until sauce has thickened and is smooth.
5. When sauce has thickened add the Mozzarella cheese and stir until smooth. STIR FREQUENTLY.

This is unbelievably easy and good. On Christmas Eve, I mixed this sauce with cooked rigatoni and added some sauteed mushrooms. I poured it in a 9x13 baking dish and baked for a half hour or so. It was the most popular dish on the buffet table.

Mmmm, that recipe sounds yummy. The family blessed me with pasta attachments for the kitchenaid stand mixer. This week while the grandchildren were here, we made ravioli. I couldn't find a filling recipe I liked, so we made our own:

saute 1/4 lb gr. round with 1 green onion & one small garlic clove(both chopped extra fine), pinch salt & dash pepper then rinse & let cool. Add 1/4 c. feta ch(we used tomato & basil feta), 1/8 c. finely shredded mozzarella, 1/8 c finely shredded fresh Parmesan cheese & one egg to bind it all together (makes for gooey finger cooking fun for kids).

For the topping sauce we used one med can crushed tomatoes, 1 Tbsp butter & our fav Italian spices and let that simmer while making the ravioli.

Cook ravioli on boiling salted water until ravioli floats, remove from water and drizzle with the sauce
