Easy Alfredo Sauce

This Easy Alfredo Sauce is your new go-to creamy, cheesy and buttery pasta sauce when you’re in a hurry!

This sauce right here is comfort food at its finest.  When I’m making it, it’s all I can do not to keep tasting it… it’s THAT good.  Not only that, it uses regular milk and cream cheese for that creamy goodness.  There’s nothing but simple everyday ingredients in this recipe which I LOVE.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get a SERIOUS craving for creamy, cheesy carbs.  Doesn’t happen way too often but when it does, watch out!  This easy Alfredo sauce is my “fix”, especially if I’m pushed for time.

This sauce does call for whole milk, but you can most definitely use heavy cream or half-and-half if you have it on-hand and want it a little thicker and creamier.

This recipe yields right at three cups of Alfredo sauce, so it’s more than enough for a cooked and drained 16-ounce package of your favorite pasta (mine is fettuccine!)

Enjoy!
