Alfredo sauce lovers, this recipe is for you. This rich and creamy Alfredo sauce recipe has so much flavor! Plus, with only five ingredients and ready in only about 10 minutes, it could not be any easier to make.
While traditional Alfredo sauce is made simply with butter and Parmesan cheese (and sometimes heavy cream), this decadent Italian-inspired Alfredo sauce recipe includes garlic and oregano for added flavor. It's flexible enough that you could add other Italian herbs, or even crushed red pepper flakes, to suit your tastes. Plus, Parmesan cheese is packed with protein (up to 10 grams of protein per one-ounce serving)!
To make this easy, delicious Alfredo sauce recipe, you'll need to gather the following ingredients: butter, heavy whipping cream, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic and dried oregano. Feel free to add salt and pepper, to taste. The ingredients are cooked on the stovetop until combined and creamy. Amazingly quick for such a delicious dish!
Serve this rich and creamy sauce over fettuccine or your favorite pasta for an easy, delicious dinner. Add some chicken or steamed spinach, or even use it as a base for an Alfredo pizza. We loved it topped with fresh parsley!
