Homemade Alfredo Sauce Recipe
Our entire family loves this sauce as it really is the best home recipe I've found for alfredo. Since I don't eat pasta, I have this on chicken & vegetables (or even no carb shirataki noodles) for a keto-friendly low carb meal, while my family does pasta or rice even. It makes even the plainest chicken or fish seem special! And I always seem to have all of the ingredients on hand, so it's easy to whip up quickly.
Tips for making Alfredo Sauce
- Use quality ingredients and high fat cream (the 40% fat cream is the best!) for this recipe.
- This recipe is funny because it's easy for weeknights but also fancy enough for company.
- Try grinding an actual nutmeg for this recipe – you'll never want to go out for alfredo again!
- This recipe can be doubled easily
- Save the leftovers, even a Tablespoon of this sauce can be great the next day, although some separation could occur.
