Alfredo Sauce Recipe with Milk for Fettuccine Alfredo
Our alfredo sauce recipe uses milk as the base instead of cream, which makes it easier because most people have milk in the fridge. Other recipes use heavy cream for their alfredo sauce, but it’s not a common fridge staple. So that’s why we created this super easy recipe with just milk, a little flour, lots of garlic and parmesan. You’ll love this on pasta, pizza or even just dip some bread in it. YUM! Kids absolutely love this sauce for fettuccini alfredo.

How to Make Homemade Creamy Garlic Alfredo Sauce
It’s creamy easy to make this homemade creamy garlic sauce. Like we mentioned above, we created this recipe using milk with flour to thicken the sauce. Grated parmesan cheese also thickens the sauce as well. If you want to use heavy cream, you can totally do that! Just eliminate the flour part and add the heavy cream to replace the milk. This sauce is perfect for fettuccine alfredo or with your favorite pasta. Watch our step-by-step photos below to guide you through the process. All recipe details are in the recipe box below.

Loved this recipe! I didn’t have quite enough parmesan so I used what I had and subbed an Italian cheese mix and it was perfect! I used it for a alfredo Flatbread recipe so I only needed a little. I froze my remaining sauce and can’t wait to use it again! Thanks for the deets!
