Alfredo Sauce: It is traditionally served over a flat, ribbon pasta also known as fettuccini pasta. Fettuccini is usually served with cream sauces such as Alfredo sauce.
This Alfredo Sauce is not only full of flavors but it is also very thick and creamy which is completely out of the world. If you make it properly at home then you will feel the same which you get in good quality restaurants. It has Italian seasonings and delicious garlic flavor as same as the chicken alfredo recipe which makes it even better. For that extra creamy flavor and texture, I like to add cream cheese to my alfredo sauce.
Alfredo sauce is made of just butter, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. This Alfredo sauce can be made by just a few ingredients which can be easily found in your near local stores. You’ll just melt the cream and butter together, remove from the heat, and stir in the Parmesan cheese until it’s creamy and thick. it’s very easy, right? well, let me give you the recipe below.

If there is a change in the taste you can further customize your homemade alfredo sauce by adding some of your favorite spices and herbs. A little fresh lemon zest would also be a nice option. Even Basil, Italian parsley, or oregano would be great additions. You can add a few more minced garlic cloves If you like a lot of garlic in your dishes. Personally, I like to have garlic in my every meal.
For best results, I highly recommend using a good quality freshly grated Parmesan cheese or heavy cream. For a light version, you can try whole milk, but one thing you have to keep in mind that the sauce will be not thick as it will be the cream so, you have to compromise the taste here. If you want the sauce thicker with lighter ingredients you can also try adding some type of thickener.
