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!
