Notes
Can you freeze alfredo?
Technically - sure - but the sauce "breaks" and separates when you reheat. So you can - if you just have 1-2 portions but definitely don't make a full batch of alfredo sauce and freeze. You can make this homemade alfredo sauce in less than 10 minutes - it's not a time saver to freeze it.
What if I don’t have cream?
You can use any of the following: 2%, whole milk, half and half or cream – I like to balance it out. The more cream – the thicker. The more 2% – the thinner your sauce will be. If you’re JUST using 2% – you’ll have a fairly thin sauce and need to add more butter, cheese, flour.
What pasta goes best with alfredo?
Fettucini is obviously a natural – but you can pretty much use any pasta. It’s a little heavy for angel hair – so you’d want to make a fairly thin sauce if using angel hair.
