Homemade Alfredo Sauce

My husband asked me forever ago to try to make my own Alfredo Sauce because he doesn't like the jarred stuff. Well I finally tried it, I went to Pinterest to get ideas and like always took bits but made it with my own twist. It is very easy but you cant leave it.
Warning: This recipe is not low in any way and if you try to make it low fat it will not taste the same! So enjoy it =)



Alfredo Sauce:
1.5 sticks of butter
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup of milk
3oz cream cheese
1.5 Cups Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago Cheeses Mix (Kraft makes a good one in the refrigerated section)
Salt & Pepper to taste

  • Melt butter with garlic.
  • Once butter is melted turn heat to low and melt cream cheese.
  • Add cream and milk and bring to a low simmer stirring often. 
  • Turn heat back down to low / med low and add cheese stirring the whole time. Till melted.
  • Add your S&P to taste.
  • Serve over pasta or use to dip bread sticks in. 
I server it over tortellini, but any favorite pasta will do.

My husband, dad, 3 year old and my self really liked it and all agreed it was pretty close to Olive Gardens sauce but maybe better! =)

Enjoy!
