Ingredients You Need to Make It

How To Make the Best, Easiest Homemade Alfredo Sauce

The BEST alfredo sauce simply requires a few basic ingredients. The texture of this sauce is simply so smooth and creamy that it melts in your tongue.Using the freshest ingredients is essential for the greatest taste possible! One of those essential components is freshly grated parmesan cheese straight from the block.As a result, the sauce will have a smooth texture as opposed to being gritty.

  • Butter: Both unsalted or salted work for this alfredo sauce recipe. If using salted butter, then just adjust the extra salt you use or omit it entirely.
  • Heavy Cream: A must-add so your sauce is rich and creamy.
  • Cream Cheese: My secret ingredient! This adds a nice, thick consistency to your alfredo sauce.
  • Minced Garlic: For the best flavor, use fresh garlic.
  • Garlic Powder: Because you can never go wrong with too much garlic! Add some of this in so your sauce has a little extra savory flavor.
  • Italian Seasoning: My favorite blend of herbs! They make the sauce smell and taste amazing.
  • Salt and Pepper: Add both to taste.
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese: Using freshly grated parmesan cheese is best. Powdered cheese will create a grainy texture and does not melt through when heated. This is because of all the preservatives that are added.
