Frequently asked questions about Alfredo Sauce.
Alfredo sauce is a popular white sauce.
Known for its rich creamy texture, alfredo sauce is especially good when paired with a wide and flat pasta such as fettucini.
Alfredo sauce gets it creamy white texture from the ingredients that have gone into making it. Those ingredients usually include heavy cream, butter, and parmesan cheese.
The main ingredients that go into making alfredo sauce are low in carbohydrates.
Heavy cream, butter, and parmesan cheese are friendly to the keto and low carbohydrate diets.
Tips for alfredo sauce.
This Alfredo sauce tastes like a delicious rich and full white sauce full of flavor.
Feel free to omit the garlic if you are okay with the sauce as it is.
More tips for you.
- Adding chopped pieces of bacon can take this sauce up a notch. Make sure that you are using already cooked bacon or bacon bits.
- This recipe calls for heavy cream. I would not substitute anything that is thinner in texture as doing so will make your sauce thin.
- Grated cheese works best in this recipe rather than shredded or chunks. This is because grated cheese is the perfect size for blending into a thick sauce when the ingredients are heated together.
How to store alfredo sauce.
This alfredo sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to a week (one reason why I save sauce jars..).
However, if you place it into a freezer zip top bag, your sauce can keep for a couple of months!
