If you love the Olive Garden Alfredo sauce, you’re going to need to learn my secrets for how to make homemade alfredo sauce. It’s even better than the restaurant and unbelievably easy!
Alfredo Sauce is the most creamy and delicious homemade alfredo sauce that you will ever make! This is a tried and true recipe and you will agree that it is the best recipe out there!
Alfredo sauce is one of my favorite things to have with a big bowl of pasta! It’s a very rich and indulgent treat for dinner. I also love that it only takes about 5-10 minutes to whip up a batch! This recipe will yield about two cups of sauce total. It can easily be doubled if you are feeding a crowd or want extra for later. The bottled Alfredo just doesn’t compare to this delicious homemade version! If you love cooking from scratch, make some of this Homemade Pasta to go along with your sauce!
“Rich and creamy! I have found that Parmesan cheese doesn’t melt well, and often substitute Gruyere cheese.”

Ingredients
1 pkg 8 oz cream cheese
1 stick 1/2 c unsalted butter
1 c milk
3/4 c grated parmesan cheese
Directions
1. CREAM CHEESE & BUTTER- about room temp
2. MILK- measure a cup GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE- measure, make sure you use just the regular kind, because if you use the more fancy one it comes out more lumpy
3. CREAM CHEESE & BUTTER- cube or cut in bits.
4. CREAM CHEESE & BUTTER- place in a sauce pan on low heat.
5. CREAM CHEESE, BUTTER, MILK & PARMESAN CHEESE – add the milk when the cream cheese and butter starts to melt and keep stirring for 5 mins. Then add the 3/4 c of parmesan cheese in and stir until smooth. ( don’t over cook, it will be a little lumpy and thick. If you want a thinner sauce just keep adding a 1/2 c of milk at a time until you get your desired consistency)
