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.
