The most creamy and delicious homemade alfredo sauce that you will ever make! This is a tried and true recipe and you will agree that it is the best recipe out there! 
I just had to post my favorite alfredo recipe that I have created here on the blog. There are a few secret ingredients that set it apart from all of the rest. If there is one thing I can always count on my family to eat it is my homemade alfredo sauce over pasta. We recently had some company over for dinner and I made these Chicken Bacon Garlic Alfredo Roll Ups and they always are a huge hit!
This alfredo sauce is thick and creamy and the flavor is out of the world. It is restaurant quality that you can make right at home. It has delicious garlic flavor and italian seasonings. I like to add cream cheese to my alfredo for that extra creamy flavor and texture. This alfredo sauce always gets raved about whenever I make it!
This alfredo sauce comes together pretty easily and you will never go back to the jarred alfredo sauce again! Ick! This alfredo sauce is awesome on top of just about any pasta but is also delicious used as a dip or even spread on pizza.
I think this sauce is even better than any restaurant that I have been to and the best part is that you can make it yourself! It is thick, creamy, and rich and the perfect sauce on top of your favorite pasta.
I know that you will quickly agree that this is the BEST! This will be a recipe that you make again and again, just like I do!
- ½ cup butter
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream (2 cups)
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- In a medium saucepan add butter, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese. Cook over medium heat and whisk until melted. Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Continue to whisk until smooth. Add the grated parmesan cheese.
- Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for about 3-5 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Toss it with your favorite pasta!

This sounds amazing. I think it will be Sunday dinner this week
So easy and really delicious! I made it because I hadn’t been to the grocery store and happened to have all the ingredients. I topped it with a sprinkle of cheese and some fresh basil. Yum! I will definitely make it again. And, perfect for the hungry houseful of teens.
Delicious !
Everything was perfect, but honestly the best part might be that this recipe is exactly the right amount for one whole spaghetti squash! I’m so excited!
PS You can definitely taste the cream cheese, which I liked, but if you don’t then cut down on it.
I’ve made Alfredo 4 years ago privately and then restaurants this is my go-to recipe now.
It looks soo good, but could you tell what kind a cream cheese do you use?
I like to use the cubed cream cheese.
I am curious if you have tried freezing the Alfredo Sauce? If so, does it hold up well?
I don’t recommend freezing it. It will separate and not be as good. It does last in the fridge about 3 to 4 days.
I have a question for you…This is my go to recipe for my family when making Fettucine alfredo. I am making a bridal shower for my mother this weekend and want to serve them Fettucine alfredo using your sauce recipe, but I cant figure out how much of your recipe to make. Or I guess what I am trying to ask is the recipe you have is for how much sauce? I need to buy everything and I will be cooking for a party of 20 ladies and I don’t have a clue as to how much to add on to the measurements? Also Can you make the sauce a day before? Or will it be best making the sauce the day of the meal?
Thanks in advance
Yes, you are welcome to make the sauce the night before. The sauce will last about 3 to 5 days in the fridge. You will want to quadruple the ingredients (4 times at least) to have enough sauce and food for 20 people. Usually the sauce makes about 4-6 servings.
How long will this keep if I make a big batch and put in mason jars and seal?
Jars last about 3 to 5 days in the fridge. It is not used for canning or keeping for a long period of time.
I made the alfredo sause using the recipe you posted. My husband and my tween daughters absolutely LOVED IT!!
Thank you for sharing such a great recipe.
Can I use half & half instead of heavy whipping cream?
It will be a different texture but that does work as a substitute.
Sounds yummy
This is definitely the best sauce ever! Cant believe how much flavor it has. My husband and I loved it!!!
This was my first attempt at homemade alfredo sauce. I followed the recipe exactly and it was DELICIOUS! My pickiest eater asked for seconds!! A definite winner!
CAN this sauce be made ahead and just heated to serve or will it break down?
Yes, that sounds perfect!
My son-in-law saw this receipe and asked me to make it. It has become a family favorite for the last two years, thank you for this quick and easy receipe
I have never left a review for a recipe but this alfredo sauce was absolutely amazing! I made it and followed the directions exactly as stated. Served over fettuccine and I made some chicken that I diced and served on top. My kids LOVED it. I saved the last bit of sauce and chicken and they asked me for it again the following day so I just made more pasta. I’ve been looking for the perfect Alfredo recipe for a long time and I have now found it! It’s also a breeze to make. Thank you for this recipe. Yay!!
I just made this and all I can say is OMG! I doubled the recipe so that I can have lunch for the work week and dinner tomorrow. I added seasoned chicken breasts and broccoli. It was amazing! Better than any alfredo I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be trying some of the other recipes. Thanks Alyssa!
Awesome sauce! Easy to make. Love it.
The best alfredo sauce

Your first male. Love Alfredo sauce. Cooked for my wife for our anniversary. Shrimp Alfredo with this recipe. Best I’ve ever had. Smooth, creamy. And it’s the first time making it. Ever. I will definitely make it again. Goes good with a chilled white or red wine. And my wife loved it. Thank you.
Truly the best one I’ve ever made, and I’ve tried many!!! Will be adding shrimp next time. I’m in college and not the best cook but this turned out great. Keeping it in my favorites.
Delicious! I just made it yesterday, a real treat! I’m keeping the recipe. Thank you so much Dear.
I’m on a lazy keto diet and made this tonight, over sauteed mushrooms and zucchini. Absolutely amazing!
I am a big fan of this recipe! I don’t enjoy overly creamy alfredo, so I only added one miniscule handful of parmesan cheese instead of the full cup. I also added in a teaspoon of red pepper flakes and it gave it a nice kick. Would recommend to anyone who loves a flavorful, creamy sauce without that almost pudding-like consistency most alfredo sauces have!!
Have to agree…. best Alfredo sauce I’ve ever had. Thanks for the awesome recipe.
I made it for dinner tonight it was great I used 1 box Angel hair pasta it absorbed all the sauce now it is dry should I cut down on pasta
Easy and delicious! I was craving ravioli alfredo (my local supermarket had Ranna ravioli by-one-get-one-free) and stumbled upon your recipe, and I had all of the ingredients on hand, including a wedge of parmigiana Reggiano, which I grated; that made the sauce especially decadent. The cream cheese seemed to keep the butter and heavy cream together better than other recipes I have tried. I was careful not to over-heat it. I agree, freezing is not a good idea, and GENTLE reheating for leftover sauce so as not to break the emulsion. This will become a staple in my kitchen. It makes a great alternative to standard cheese sauce on vegetables like broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and cauliflower, and it is also a great dip for breadsticks. You could even use it as fondue or as an alternative to Welsh Rarebit ( a favorite for weekend brunch (pour it over toast and bacon).
Just made this and it is delicious!! Used it on 4 cheese tortellini and it was perfect!
Hi,
This looks delicious!!!
I am wondering if it would terrible if made without the cream cheese? This is only because I have none.
Yes, the cream cheese is a must for this recipe. I am sorry I would hate for you to ruin all your ingredients.
I love your recipies
Exactly how I make mine.. 🙂
Hi! I was wondering if this recipe would be good made the night before? I want to have this for dinner tomorrow night but was wondering if I could make it today and jar it for tomorrow?
Yes, you can make it the night before but it only lasts about 2-3 days once it is made. Hope you enjoy it! XOXO
Tasted delicious but could have use about half the amount of butter than what is called for.
Great recipe! I used half and half because that was all I had on hand. It was still delicious enough that I will be buying less jarred Alredo in the future! Thanks!

Hi this is my second time making this alfredo Sauce. Let me say this is the best of them other recipes. Hands down. I believe the cream cheese makes it taste droolicous. Thanks this is the only recipe I will use if I want homemade for sure. Thanks so much for sharing.
Susan
That is so good to hear! Thank you so much for sharing! XOXO
I love this sauce but I added 1/2 a cup of Romano. The Romano cheese will make it taste so much better.
Great idea! I will have to try that too! Thanks for sharing! XOXO
