NEVER Buy Jarred ALFREDO Sauce Again — Try This 1950s Little Italy Trick

"There is no sauce on this." A woman said that at my uncle's restaurant on Mulberry Street in 1979, and sent her Alfredo back. She was right, and she was wrong. The thick white sauce in the jar is thick for one reason, and it has nothing to do with flavor. Real Alfredo lives for about four minutes, and there is a way to have it ready every night of the week. It is not a recipe card. It is not cream. It is one old 1950s kitchen trick that sits in your icebox and makes the jar useless. I spent eleven years at that stove before I took over my father's bread oven. Six dinners, one trick. Tell me in the comments: what is the plainest looking dish your family made that you would give anything to taste again?
