There is just something so comforting about a plate of pasta smothered in a rich, decadent, Alfredo sauce. However, making the sauce can be sometimes daunting.

I have created an Easy Alfredo Sauce recipe (a copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce) that comes together in minutes and tastes so much better than the packaged stuff.

Why This Easy Alfredo Sauce Recipe Works

This recipe is my new favorite easy Alfredo sauce recipe because I get to use fresh ingredients that are customized to my families taste without any junk that comes in the repackaged jars or packets.

Did I mention that this is an Easy Alfredo Sauce? It takes literally minutes to prepare and the flavor is incredible.

How to Make Homemade Alfredo Sauce

  • Butter and Cream: The first step to making homemade Alfredo sauce is adding the cream and butter over medium heat to the pan.
  • Bring to a Light Simmer: Then add the garlic and the House Seasoning Blend. Next, stir to combine.
  • Remove pan from Heat: Whisk in the parmesan cheese until combined and it is fully melted. Finally, if the consistency is not to your liking add milk a little at a time until the desired thickness has been reached.
