Alfredo Sauce
Jump to recipe
The rich, creamy indulgence of the ultimate white sauce. Alfredo gets it’s flavor from garlic and Parmesan which goes well with the richness of the half & half.
This recipe makes the proper amount to go with a pound of uncooked pasta. While most commonly paired with Fettucini, I prefer to use it with Fusilli or Rotini which gives a place for the sauce to cling to the pasta.
