    Our homemade Alfredo Sauce is an easy garlic parmesan sauce. It's perfect for pasta or casseroles like the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta.

    Whisking up Alfredo Sauce

    This simple white sauce takes less than 20 minutes to make and taste so much better than the store-bought varieties.

    You can use this creamy classic Alfredo sauce not just for pasta. But also for vegetables, chicken, seafood and homemade casseroles.

    This simple recipe takes very little time and effort. And you don't have to worry any about additives or preservatives.

    Making recipes from scratch doesn't have to be tedious or take a long time. Very often it's just a matter of whisking up a few basic ingredients.

    Boil some linguini or spaghetti pasta, quickly prepare broiled salmon. Top everything with this delicious cheese sauce and you have perfect restaurant-like comfort food in 30 minutes or less. SO GOOD!

      This is pretty similar to the way I make my alfredo, and it’s probably my favorite dinner that I have ever posted! I haven’t done it without scraping the cooked squash though–I will definitely have to give it a try!

      If you want a really good pesto recipe, check out the recipe on Not Enough Cinnamon. Marie has a whole blog full of fabulous recipes, and she is the one who taught me how to make my own peanut butter. And almond butter. Highly recommended.
