For the chicken meatballs USE THIS RECIPE from WellPlated.com.  There is nothing to these chicken meatballs.  I followed the instructions at wellplated.com.  Head over there and use this recipe!  Literally you mix all the meatball ingredients together.  Scoop them with a large cookie dough scoop and drop them onto a greased jellyroll pan.  Slap some magic tomato mixture on each one and bake them.  That’s it!  Then come back here and get the alfredo recipe!

 

 

 

 

How to make Alfredo Sauce:

 

While the meatballs are baking…it’s time for some creamy Parmesan heaven…

Let’s make the Alfredo Sauce.

1.  In a heavy sauce pan, toss in the butter and minced FRESH garlic.  You will heat this over medium heat for about 30 seconds to incorporate the amazing garlic flavor.  (THIS is the secret to the perfect garlic flavor in Alfredo.  The garlic must be cooked over medium or low heat so it does not over cook.  If the garlic browns, it will turn bitter and you will not have the rich garlic flavor that makes Alfredo so flavorful)! 
2. While stirring, add the heavy whipping cream and salt.  Stir and cook over medium heat, keeping the mixture at a low simmer for 3 minutes.  The mixture will thicken slightly.

 

 

 

3. Remove pot from the heat and stir in FRESH grated parmesan cheese. 

 

 

 

 

4. Whisk until Alfredo is smooth and creamy.  Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.  LOOK AT THAT CREAMY HEAVEN!  Have a quick taste!  Try not to cry a little!  This stuff is CRAZY DELISH!  

 

 

 

When you pull all these POWER-HOUSE INGREDIENTS together…you get the Italian Heaven!  ENJOY!
