Soo easy to make! Just made it in 15 min. Will definitely do again!
15 minutes? Really? I always thought it took longer to make something like Alfredo.
Glad you enjoyed it! Alfredo sauce is such a classic. Can’t wait to make it myself!
Can you use olive oil instead of butter? My friend said that’s healthy. 🤔
It’s alright, but didn’t taste like restaurant ones. Ever thought of adding chicken?
I actually think chicken would be a great addition! It could make it more filling too. Maybe try it next time? 😊
Nah, I don’t think chicken really goes with Alfredo. It’s supposed to be creamy and simple! Just stick to the original recipe.
This Alfredo sauce is amazing! So creamy and rich. My family loved it!
I tried this recipe but it was way too salty for me. Maybe less salt next time?
I totally get what you mean! I also found it a bit salty the first time I made it. Just a pinch next time works great!
Alfredo sauce is just butter and cheese, why everyone is so hyped about it??
