Cream Cheese Alfredo Sauce Is Ready In 15 Minutes!
Alfredo Sauce is one of those things that literally everyone in my family will agree on. Seriously, what’s not to love? Butter, cheese, cream… and it’s generally served over a pasta recipe, because carbs coated in creamy sauce is quite possibly the perfect food…I mean as long as you’re not counting your calories/carbs/fat/macros or whatever the diet of the month is.

I make a pretty mean and super simple Fettuccine Alfredo. But if you’re looking for something a little different, and extra creamy, this easy cream cheese Alfredo sauce is a MUST try!
Why Add Cream Cheese to Alfredo Sauce?
Using cream cheese in your Alfredo sauce is a no brainer! It’s ridiculously easy, ultra creamy, and doesn’t do that thing that Alfredo sauces sometimes do…you know, when they separate or gets way too thick. Adding cream cheese is almost like a shortcut way to add creaminess and flavor! Of course, the longer this Alfredo sauce simmers or sits off the heat, the thicker it will get, but it always stays creamy and pourable, which is fantastic for serving over tortellini, which my kids love.
Ingredients:
butter cream cheese minced garlic milk Parmesan cheese seasoned salt black pepper

What Can You Add?
You can add peas, mushrooms, chicken, bacon… whatever you want to make this sauce your own. It works perfectly with pretty much everything! You could even use it on white pizza, or on top of a grilled steak!
Cooking Tip
Since this sauce comes together so quickly don’t start it ahead of time…wait until you put your water on to boil for the pasta. This way everything comes together at the same time. You really can’t ask for an easier, more filling, or family friendly meal for a weeknight dinner!
