Oh so good I make this on Sundays for our family day we all love it. My sister had asked me to give her my secret alfredo sauce recipe to be honest I didn’t want to give it to her because then she wouldn’t ask to come over for dinner anymore I gave it to her anyway. Thank you so much for a very simple but oh so delicious recipe.
Heidi says
I’m so glad to hear you love the Alfredo sauce recipe, Diana! What a delicious Sunday family tradition! 🙂
Marsia says

And thank god the store ran out of jar Alfredo sauce because I will never go back to jar Alfredo sauce!! This recipe was a hit with my family!!! My daughter said it was chefs kiss!!! So flavorful! And simple to make!!! Thanks!

Made this amazingly delicious Alfredo sauce and will never use anything else other than this recipe! I added some cooked chicken and shrimp to it along with some pasta and garlic bread and it made the best meal ever!! Thank you for this recipe!

Anne Park says
Do you know what the nutritional facts are for this recipe? I’m keto-ing and would like to know what the fat, carbs, etc are??
Yvonne says
Tried it with the family tonight. There are 5 of us, and we like a lot of sauce, so I’ll be doubling the recipe next time. I also found some marked down butternut squash, so I sauteed that with some fresh spinach and put it on top. Rotisserie chicken was in sale, too, and cost less than raw breasts, so that was a tasty and frugal alternative, along with the veggie noodles I used.
Heidi says
That sounds delicious, Yvonne… I’m so glad you liked it! 🙂
Rita says
I sent my husband to the store for a carton of heavy cream to make some ganache. He returned with four cartons – they were on sale. So I doubled the recipe and made this tonight for some chicken and mushroom Alfredo pasta. I added some hot pepper and parsley as well and it turned out fabulous. Thanks!
Heidi says
That sounds delicious, Rita! 🙂
Shanita says
Delicious!
Heidi says
Aww… thank you, Shanita! I’m so glad you liked it! 🙂
Dana says
Would you be able to make a day in advance?
Heidi says
Hi Dana,
It really is best when served immediately, otherwise the ingredients begin to separate. Hope that helps!
Karen Schaller says
I’ve discovered that using an immersion blender, if it separates, works wonderfully!
Shelby says
What would be the serving size for one serving? Is there a calorie/macro breakdown?

Tara says
Good recipe. I don’t know if people realize how easy it is to make a good homemade Alfredo sauce, so it’s good to see nice simply recipe like this. As a variation to this recipe, you could melt in provolone and cut the parmesan in 1/2. It gives it even creamer but does have a stronger flavor. Thanks for sharing!
