Best Alfredo Sauce

41 Replies

This is one of the easiest meals in the world to make and it is super tasty! We had a pasta bar when we were visiting my family earlier this year and my brother-in-law declared this the best alfredo sauce he’d ever had!

The best alfredo sauce. So creamy, flavorful, and super easy! We love this recipe.

Most recipes say this amount will cover a pound of noodles. Not even close! Please make a double or triple batch if you are needing enough for that much pasta. This recipe will serve 4-6 depending on portion size, what else you are serving with the meal etc. Sliced blackened chicken would taste amazing served on top of the pasta.

Leftovers of the sauce will turn solid in the refrigerator. Slowly reheat and whisk to combine again and it will be perfect.

        I’ve made this three times in four days! Yes, it’s that good! I used it to make a chicken & bacon Alfredo pizza and used Romano, Mozzarella, and Asiago cheese on a Pillsbury pizza dough. The third time making it, I changed the butter to unsalted butter and added about 1/4 cup more cream. Just finished eating it tonight again! So amazingly delicious!

    Yum! Alfredo sauce used to be my favorite when I was younger. I love that I can make it myself now with simple ingredients (and not have to buy it premade in the store). Thank you for linking up at the Sunday Social Blog hop!

      It is comforting and delicious and I love how quickly it comes together. Hooray for meals that are completed in the time it takes the pasta to cook! Thanks for hosting.

    This looks delicious. My go-to white sauce goes something like grab-any-milk-available-and-add-garlic. Having a real recipe (that’s stuffed with cheese!) sounds like a great change! Thanks for sharing at the mixing bowl party, Deanna.

      It is so good! We’ve enjoyed this several times lately – creamy and delicious. Your white sauce sounds like mine – garlic makes anything better! Thanks for hosting the Mixing Bowl Party.

    I absolutely love alfredo sauce, but I can’t ever seem to get it the way I want. This one seems to be a winner! I can’t wait to try this!!! Thank you!

      Me too!!! This recipe has worked really well for us and it’s super easy – no messing with the egg yolks etc. I had someone comment on Pinterest that it didn’t thicken for them, but that’s never happened for me. I always buy the block Parmesan and great it myself.
