Olive Garden Crab Alfredo Recipes

COPYCAT OLIVE GARDEN SEAFOOD ALFREDO RECIPE

Steps:

• Start the water for the fettuccine pasta. Cook as per package directions until just shy of al dente (it will be added to the sauce later and will continue to cook). If the pasta is done too early, drain and set aside while reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid just in case the sauce is too thick.
• As the water is starting for the pasta, combine the butter and cream in a large pot or a wide skillet with tall edges (like the one in my picture). Heat over medium until the butter is melted into the cream.
• Turn heat down to medium low. Add the nutmeg to the cream and butter mixture. Whisk to combine.
• Add the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste (cheese is salty, so make sure you do not salt until after the Parmesan is added).
• Add the shrimp, scallops, and pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time to loosen the sauce (or cream). If too thin, let it cook a little longer. This should be enough time for the small seafood to cook (see note).
• Remove from heat. Serve immediately.

• Put on water for pasta and bring to a boil.
• Mince garlic and cut onion into slivers.
• Place olive oil in a heavy flat-bottomed skillet and add the onion and garlic.
• Stir in the the mushrooms, zucchini and yellow squash.
• Cut two of the tomatoes into chunks and add to the skillet, and saute until squash is cooked, about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• While this is sauteing, cook the fettuccine according to package directions for al dente pasta.
• About two minutes before the pasta is done, chop and add the remaining tomatoes to the skillet, as well as the basil, green onion (be sure to use both the green and white part of the onion) and surimi.
• Add the jar of Alfredo sauce and stir to combine.

OLIVE GARDEN ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• On medium heat, add butter, garlic, and flour until butter is melted. Do not brown garlic.
• Whisk in the heavy cream until hot.
• Slowly add the freshly grated cheeses into the hot cream mixture. Finally add the salt and pepper. Stir often to make sure no cheese settles at the bottom.
• Simmer until all the cheeses are melted and the sauce reaches the desired thickness. Do not let this sauce boil, or it will begin to separate and the cheeses will become grainy.
• Serve with pasta and garnish with freshly grated pecorino romano cheese (used by restaurant), if desired.
