AMAZING ALFREDO

So tonight I made a recipe that my sisters have both been raving about and that it tastes as good as Olive Garden's alfredo.  We LOVED it!! It definitely met up to the high expectations that everyone had been talking about!!

Amazing Alfredo by Missy Hendricks

10 ounces of pasta
1/2 c. butter
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 c. heavy cream (I actually used a little more to make it not so thick)
1 egg yolk
2 c. fresh parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. pepper

Cook pasta with 1 Tbsp. olive oil until noodles are soft.  In large skillet, melt butter and then add garlic.  Cook on low 5 minutes.
In small bowl mix 1/4 c. cream and egg yolk.  Beat and set aside. 
Pour remaining cream into pan with butter and garlic.  Increase heat to med high and whisk.  When cream starts to boil, slowly add cream egg mixture.  You don't want egg to curdle so keep mixing.  Mix until blended.
Add pepper, parsley, and cheese and mix until smooth (this is when I added a little more cream).
Serve over pasta and enjoy!!!

I also tried these breadsticks with it and they were very EASY to make and delicious also!!!
