Remember, a thin Alfredo sauce isn’t a failure. It’s a learning experience served with a side of shame. We’ve all had to Google “how to fix dinner” while a pot simmered on the stove.
Next time, toast your flour before adding liquid. Use real cheese. Don’t boil your cream. And for goodness’ sake, taste things before you serve them.
But if you still end up with a puddle, just call it “artisanal broth.” It’s only a crisis if you don’t have a second plan. And now, you do. Now go forth and thicken. Your pasta deserves better.
