• Although Italian purists would argue that you should never, ever add cream to an authentic Alfredo sauce – it should simply be the silky result of an emulsion of grated cheese, melted butter and starchy pasta water – we’ve bent this rule here, with deliciously indulgent results.

    In a large frying pan, place the butter and the creams. Bring to a boil and simmer, 1 minute, before removing from heat.
