Best Alfredo Sauce

Traditional alfredo sauce is a heavy cream-based sauce filled with butter and Parmesan cheese, similar to a béchamel (but without the roux). Typically, it's served with pasta, like the popular fettuccine alfredo. It pairs well with chicken, shrimp, and beef.

You can make homemade alfredo sauce taste even more incredible using some extra ingredients! I'll show you how to make the best homemade alfredo sauce from scratch using a secret ingredient that gives it the creamiest texture and flavor.

Best Alfredo sauce ever! And soo simple to make! I don't know what possessed me to use jars and packets in the past! 😋❤️

5. Finally, sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper. Your sauce will be thickened and perfect for use in all your favorite alfredo sauce recipes.

Creamy Alfredo Sauce Recipe Tips

• Use a high-quality Parmesan or Parmesan grated straight off the block for best results.
• Never stop stirring! You don't want the cream to curdle. Keep stirring when adding the cream, American cheese, and Parmesan.
• If your sauce isn't thick enough, allow it to bubble for a few more minutes before serving.
