What You Need
Pasta
1 stick of butter
1 clove of minced garlic
1 pint of heavy cream
1 cup of Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese
salt and pepper
What to Do
Make Pasta ( I was cooking the pasta while making the sauce)
In a sauce pan over medium heat – melt butter and add garlic and cook for two minutes.
Add cream and cream cheese and heat till bubbling ( not to the point of a boil)
All mixed but it is missing CHEESE!
Add in Parmesan Cheese and mix until the cheese melts add salt and pepper to taste. I ended up adding about 1/2 teaspoon of pepper ( but that is just me).
Mix some sauce with the pasta ( a little sauce goes a long way ).
Enjoy!
There was so much sauce left over I was able to fill this sauce jar! We had leftovers the next day and it was super yummy.
Final Product
How yummy does this look!!!

This was a delicious change to our chicken pasta! Super easy and a family hit!
I made this recipe tonight for the first time and it was SUPER EASY to make and VERY YUMMY to eat! Thank you so much for sharing. I have wanted to find a good alfredo sauce recipe for awhile now since it is my daughter’s favorite type of pasta to order at, yep, the Olive Garden!!
Love this!!!!! We’ve made it twice already! Easy to make & taste the same as if you were at the OG!! =)
I’ve been using a recipe like this and have found that I can leave the butter out completely (for a healthier version) and don’t even notice the difference! It’s a wonderful Alfredo .. so much so that we don’t order it out!
So, so good!! I just made it and is simple and tasty
thanks for sharing!
You are VERY welcome
This was delicious. I sauteed some mushrooms and green peppers and added cooked chicken as well. Very tasty! Thanks for sharing!
I just have to let you know, I locve the recipes on Pinterest. I think I have pinned most of them and look forward to trying them!!
Do you ever add just a pinch of Nutmeg?? That really makes the sauce for me.
Thank you, I just love this sauce and go to Olive Garden just for their Chicken Alfredo.
Wow this looks amazing! I just saw it on pinterest and added you to my google reader. This is even more unhealthy than I could have imagined, lol. But I wonder if I could get my hubby to eat some vegetables if I mix it in with this!
I just made this for dinner. It turned out great! I thought I would have some sauce left over, but it’s all gone!! Thanks for this recipe!!
Can you freeze the leftover sauce? And, could you replace the cream with milk?
What size stick of butter?
OMG, this Alfredo is simple and AMAZING! I have tried other recipes using cream of chicken soup and chicken stock, but this is SO much better! It really does taste just like Olive Garden’s (which is my #1 weakness! I am literally shoveling it into my mouth at the moment. Awesome recipe, I may add a little more garlic next time though.
Also, any tips on how to get all my cheeses to melt completely?? I had a little chunk of cream cheese and some strings of parmesan,
I kept stirring and mushing the cream cheese until it melted in. I didn’t manage to get the parmesan to all melt though.
Thanks for this Alfredo sauce recipe. My wife and daughter loved it.
Does this recipe make enough sauce to add chicken and broccoli to it or do I need to make more sauce.
It will make enough
This looks delish! If I wanted to make half of the amount would you recommend cutting every ingredient in half?
That should work
Can I cut this recipe in half?
Thank goodness for Pinterest! Just made this last night and hubby and I both loved it! We both love olive garden alfredo and this tastes exactly like it! I used grated Parmesan cheese and added shrimp to the pasta for aliitle something extra. I had half of the sauce left over, which i’ll freeze for next time. Now hubby wants me try this with chicken
. Thanks for the amazing recipe!
Did you just use regular kraft parm, or did you buy a block and grate it?!
I used regular
