Recipes FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of pasta?

    • Yes, you can use any type of pasta you like. Fettuccine is a classic choice for Alfredo sauce, but penne, rigatoni, or even gnocchi would work well.

  • Can I use half-and-half instead of heavy cream?

    • Yes, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the sauce won't be as thick and creamy.

  • Can I freeze leftover Alfredo sauce?

    • Yes, you can freeze leftover Alfredo sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Recipe Tips

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables to the pasta for a more filling meal.
