This delightfully spicy Alfredo sauce, creamy and rich with Parmesan cheese, gets its heat from Calabrian hot pepper paste. Serve this sauce over pasta, and garnish with more pepper paste if you like.

3/4 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

Cook’s Note

Calabrian hot pepper paste is spicy. I suggest going easy. You can always add more but you cannot take away.
