Quick & Easy Homemade Alfredo Sauce

The silky texture of authentic Alfredo is created by a balanced emulsion of grated Parmesan, butter, and starchy pasta water. But if mealtime calls for serving the garlicky Parmesan cream sauce without pasta (or its cooking liquid!), you need a new approach. Don’t tell my Italian in-laws, but a dose of dairy is the secret to my five-ingredient, everyday Alfredo sauce.

Is Alfredo Sauce Keto?
Yes! This sauce hits all the right macro marks for followers of the keto diet. If you make the sauce with heavy cream, the sauce has just 3.7 grams of carbs while providing ample amounts of fat and protein to keep your macros in range. Instead of pasta, serve the sauce drizzled over broccoli, tossed with zucchini noodles, or poured over grilled chicken.

Storage: The sauce is best served immediately. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container, and add a splash of milk before reheating over low heat on the stovetop.
