Alfredo sauce isn’t just a creamy treat; it’s also a great choice for convenience. Thanks to the flour in this recipe, it stands out from other cheese sauces by maintaining its consistency even after cooling and reheating. Here’s the scoop:
Fridge Life: Got Alfredo sauce leftovers or prepping for a future meal? Don’t worry. Your Alfredo sauce can chill in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer-Friendly: Planning the sauce ahead? This sauce has got you covered. Freeze it, and for optimal flavor, use it within 1-2 months.
Noticed your Alfredo sauce has thickened and settled a bit? Fear not! Whether you’re taking it out of the fridge or the freezer, here’s how to bring it back to its creamy glory:
Reheating 101: Alfredo sauce tends to thicken as it cools. But it’s back in the game with a microwave or a gentle reheating on the stove. For the most satisfactory results, consider using a makeshift double boiler. This method ensures even heating, whether warming the Alfredo sauce alone or with pasta.
From the Freezer: If your Alfredo sauce has been in deep freeze, give it a night in the fridge to thaw before you heat it up.
Too Thick? No Problem: If you find your sauce a tad too thick upon reheating, introduce a splash of pasta water, milk, or chicken broth. It’ll thin out and be as pleasing as ever.

Let’s make a delicious Roman Suppli, a classic that promises a comforting crunch on the outside and a gooey mozzarella wonder inside. This dish is prepared with the rich flavors of carnaroli rice, mozzarella cheese, and butter and elevated by the subtle touch of onion, tomato puree, and fresh basil leaves.
The creaminess of milk, the depth of veggie broth, and the binding magic of eggs come together effortlessly. And let’s not forget the finishing touch: a generous drizzle of Parmigiano and Roman pecorino cheese. Enter the world of Roman Suppli, where each bite celebrates flavor and texture!
Dive into the core of Rome’s culinary traditions with Roman Suppli, a dish that seamlessly blends taste and history. These crisp rice balls, filled with gooey mozzarella, are prepared with the most satisfactory ingredients: carnaroli rice, mozzarella cheese, butter, and fried in extra virgin olive oil.
The aromatic presence of onion, tomato puree, and fresh basil leaves improves the ensemble. Add to this the creaminess of milk, the richness of the vegetable broth, and the binding powers of eggs, all completed with a plentiful amount of Parmigiano and Roman pecorino cheese.
But there’s a mesmerizing twist to this Roman delicacy’s story. Outside its popular name, these golden delights are known as “Supplì alla Romana.” And for those with a good sense of history, the term “suppli al telefono” resonates. Why? Because the stretching mozzarella, when pulled apart, joyfully mirrors the spiral telephone cords that were once omnipresent in homes.
It’s a fun reflection of how meals and memories twist, catching the essence of Roman gastronomy and parts of day-to-day life from the past. With Roman Suppli, every bite delivers not just flavor but a tale, linking the past to the present in the most mouthwatering way.
Have you ever walked through the streets of Rome? If yes, you might have heard stories about the remarkable Roman Suppli at Supplizio. This culinary jewel, helmed by the renowned chefs Arcangelo Dandini and Lorenzo D’Ettore, stands proudly in Rome’s historic soul, serving some of the city’s finest Suppli.
Their menu is a lovely tapestry of flavors. While they master the traditional version, adventurous palates can explore variations such as cacio e pepe or the indulgent blend of butter and anchovies. A nod to tradition, they also prepare the age-old original Suppli, a wide variety of chicken giblets, pork sausage, mozzarella, Parmesan, tomato, and fresh porcini mushrooms.
For those who want a fiery kick, the arrabbiata suppli, infused with zesty pepperoncino, is a must-try.
Carnaroli Rice: Frequently referred to as the “king of rice,” carnaroli rice is the spine of this recipe. Its starchy content provides a creamy consistency, making it the excellent choice for holding the Suppli together while delivering a delightful bite.
Mozzarella Cheese: The star of the dish! When warmed, mozzarella melts into a string-like, gooey treat, delivering the signature “telephone cord” effect. Its mild taste complements the other ingredients, guaranteeing a harmonious taste.
Butter: Butter enhances the rice mixture, giving it a silky texture and improving the overall mouthfeel of the Suppli.
Onion: A foundational flavor. The onion, when sautéed, releases sweetness and fragrance that forms the base note for the dish, ensuring depth and sophistication.
Tomato Puree: This provides a tangy undertone, balancing out the richness of the cheeses and butter. It also imparts a dynamic color, making the treat visually attractive.
Milk: Milk softens the carnaroli rice, ensuring that the inside of the Suppli stays creamy and contrasts beautifully with the crisp exterior.
Vegetable Broth: This broth infuses the rice with a rich flavor, ensuring that every grain is filled with taste.
Basil Leaves: Fresh basil presents a burst of herbaceous freshness, slicing through the richness and adding a layer of aromatic sophistication.
Eggs: Acting as a binding agent, eggs provide that the rice mixture holds its form while also adding a touch of richness.
Parmigiano Cheese: Known for its strong and nutty flavor, Parmigiano adds a depth of flavor, boosting the overall flavor profile of the Roman suppli.
Roman Pecorino Cheese: This goat cheese, with its salty and tangy notes, complements the mozzarella and Parmigiano, rounding off the cheesy trio that makes the Suppli irresistibly appetizing.
Arancini generally boast a round or teardrop shape and are prepared with rice, often accompanied by ingredients like meat, peas, and sometimes pistachios. The variety of Arancini flavors is quite comprehensive compared to Suppli. On the other hand, Suppli embraces an oblong form, featuring a precise combination of tomato sauce and rice.
At its heart, a piece of mozzarella awaits. It’s essential to serve them while they’re hot. The name “Suppli al Telefono” (telephone) arises from the visual spectacle when you split one: the mozzarella stretches between the halves, reminiscent of a telephone cord.
