alfredo doesn't hold well

Ok, so today for breakfast I made Cheesy Scrambled Eggs.  Super easy I used more eggs then I thought would be needed.  The story so far...  My name as the blog might suggest is Norm I am the food service professional charged with providing breakfast lunch and a light afternoon snack for a preschool/daycare. I started last Wednesday and so far I am loving it.  This has been very fun for me to stretch my culinary skills and adapt to cooking for kids.  The kids are awesome, I am just getting to know them and I am already "Mr Norm" the kids love to eat so naturally they treat me well.  Oh yeah, about the Alfredo, I am an experienced Italian Chef.  So you would think that making an Alfredo is a cake walk right?  Well, it is.  The problem is, I am used to making the sauce as a pan sauce one serving at a time.  Not going to work in this situation.  I made five lbs of noodles and a gallon of the sauce.  The flavor was great but the texture fell apart by the time the older kids were served their lunch so it looked like butter noodles with Parmesan cheese mixed in.  The cream broke and separated into oil and cheese :(  so what did I do wrong?  I think the sauce needs to be cooked separately for each group. So as is often the case I have learned something new and will be applying it to my system here at the school. Want to know what recipes I am using check me out at allrecipes.com.
