Alfredo Sauce

Homemade Alfredo sauce is one of the easiest pasta sauces to make from scratch. Made from just five simple ingredients, this recipe is easy and one of those that is truly better homemade than from a jar. Plus, it’s easy! With only five basic ingredients, anyone can have success with this recipe.
I usually serve Alfredo sauce over fettuccine noodles, but it’s great with your favorite pasta as well. I also love this recipe as a pizza sauce!

- Butter – Unsalted butter.
- Heavy Cream
- Garlic – Fresh minced garlic.
- Italian Seasoning – Use store-bought or make your own.
- Parmesan Cheese – Grated Parmesan cheese.
- Salt & Black Pepper – To taste.
While some like to thicken sauce with cornstarch, I will sometimes add a tablespoon or two of plain Greek yogurt to this recipe. But it’s not necessary, just an option.
In a saucepan, melt butter and lightly sauté the minced garlic in the butter for 1-2 minutes.
Next, stir in the heavy whipping cream and Italian seasoning. Whisk so everything gets warm and well combined. Simmer on medium heat.
Then stir in the Parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes a sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Storage and Reheating TipsThis sauce is best when made and served immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, add a splash of cream or milk to the leftovers and heat them on the stovetop at low heat.

Other than fettuccine Alfredo, my other favorite use for this homemade Alfredo sauce is as a pizza sauce! I love white sauce pizza, especially topped with lots of vegetables. Make some pasta or pizza this weekend. Do it! xo. Emma
