Keto Alfredo Sauce Ingredients
It’s easy to make a keto friendly alfredo sauce. You most likely already have all the ingredients in your kitchen.
- butter
- minced garlic
- heavy cream
- chicken broth (can use vegetable broth)
- cream cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- salt & pepper
The most important ingredients in a good alfredo sauce is Parmesan cheese and garlic – don’t skip these! I’ve seen some alfredo sauce recipes online that don’t use these ingredients – that’s just crazy!
How to Make Alfredo Sauce
Homemade alfredo sauce is easy to make and only takes 10 minutes. Once you make it yourself you’ll never buy it from the store again. I promise.
In a medium sized saucepan over medium high heat melt butter with minced garlic. Once the butter is melted add in heavy cream, chicken broth, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. You can use boxed chicken broth or make your own with water and bouillon powder. You can also use vegetable broth if you’re making a vegetarian recipe.
Now the most important step when making alfredo sauce. Mix. Mix. Keep mixing!
You’ll want to keep stirring until the alfredo sauce starts to thicken. This takes a few minutes. Once thick and creamy, add salt and pepper to taste. Now my favorite part, time to serve and eat!
Keto Meals with Alfredo Sauce
- My favorite way to eat this alfredo sauce is over zoodles. I like to cook my zoodles on the stove in a little olive oil until the zoodles slightly brown. By the way I absolutely love my AmazonBasics skillet, I use it for EVERYTHING on the stove.
- You can serve this with spaghetti squash, like you would with a pasta, or you can make a creamy spaghetti squash casserole with this alfredo sauce.
- Add baked chicken or roasted shrimp to the meals above to make a more complete meal.
- Craving pasta still and don’t want zoodles? These are my favorite keto friendly noodles. They are seriously SO GOOD!
Can you freeze alfredo sauce?
Yes, you can absolutely freeze alfredo sauce. I like to use these silicone freezer bags as they’re reusable, but you can also use regular freezer bags. When ready to use defrost overnight or throw in the microwave.
I hope you love this Keto Alfredo Sauce as much as I do!
