Alfredo sauce is a rich and creamy white sauce that gets its delicious flavor and texture from butter, cheese and cream (not a low calorie meal!). It makes a wonderful pasta sauce (Fettucini Alfredo) but goes equally well with chicken. Buon appetito!
1/4 cup Butter
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 1/2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Freshly Shredded Parmesan Cheese
1/4 teaspoon Ground White Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Wisk in garlic, cheese, white pepper and salt. Simmer for 3-4 more minutes or until heated through. Stir in parsley and serve.

This Thai Peanut Sauce is traditionally served as a dipping sauce with Chicken Satay (chicken that is grilled on a bamboo skewer). However, it works equally well as a dipping sauce or finishing sauce for shrimp, pork or beef.
When preparing the sauce do not use a freshly ground peanut butter. This will result in a sauce that is too oily. A creamy peanut butter works best. Garnish with some chopped roasted peanuts and some chopped green onions.
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 can (14.8-ounce size) Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Fresh Ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Place peanut butter in saucepan over medium heat. Gradually mix in the chicken broth. Add remaining ingredients and stir over medium heat until smooth and thick, about 6 minutes. Makes 3 cups of sauce.
