Cheese Sauce
A white sauce may seem like a simple recipe, too simple to list really but when made in the traditional simple way it has flour and milk, which are in the do not consume category.
This recipe is a variation of an Alfredo sauce, just like a traditional cheese sauce but much richer and creamier, and much lower in carbs.
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup cream
1 cup grated cheese - (Alfredo uses Parmesan Cheese, this is the only difference, cheaper to use regular cheese and I don't like Parmesan)
1/2 teaspoon salt
ground white pepper
dash of ground nutmeg
Place butter and cream in large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until butter melts and mixture bubbles, cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from heat.
Gradually stir in cheese until thoroughly blended and smooth. Return briefly to heat to completely blend cheese, but do NOT let sauce bubble or cheese will become lumpy and tough.
Makes 4 servings. 1.9 net grams of carbohydrate per serving.
This cheese sauce can be used over steamed Broccoli Cauliflower, roast veges, fish etc.
