A family favorite recipe? This copycat Olive Garden Alfredo sauce. My sister found it a few years ago and I BEGGED her for it. We LOVE it. If we could have it every night and not gain any weight? We would.
I’m some-what of an Alfredo connoisseur, and this stuff is beyond amazing. Like, I could drink it – it’s THAT good.
“Nothing you buy is ever going to be as good as something you make – why do you have to compare? Why can’t you just EAT it?!”
Because if it’s not hands down the best tasting thing on the planet, I don’t have time to waste on mediocre food.
Copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce Recipe
A super simple sauce that may be better than Olive Garden's Alfredo....
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. butter
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 3/4 c. Parmesan cheese
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt butter and cream cheese.
- Add garlic powder, salt, and cheese (mixture will be lumpy - not smooth, but keep going!).
- Slowly pour in heavy whipping cream.
- Continue to stir until mixture is heated through.
- Sauce will be thin (this is normal!)
- Sauce will thicken once it's cooled and on your noodles.
- *You CAN keep on low and stir occasionally to help sauce thicken - but watch it, it can burn!
Umm…. YUM!!! I need to make this like NOW!
Love you babe!

Girl. Your “fat skinny” body would love it. No joke. It’s creamy, garlicky, and delish. And I miss you. The end. Mwa.
shut up. this looks so good!! And we can never buy canned pasta sauce – its just not as good! even if it takes longer to prepare its so worth it. Can’t wait to try this!
GIRL. I am the SAME WAY. That store-bought alfredo tastes SOOO nasty after this stuff. Maybe you shouldn’t make it after all… 😉
I am making this tonight!!! All I have is half and half, do you think that will work? It’s snowy and rainy outside! I don’t want to run to the grocery store!
Oh girl, I’m sure it would work, it just might not be as creamy. Let me know how it goes!!!
This is almost exactly like mine except for the cream cheese. I’ll have to try this for sure!
Thank you honey bunch. This is a definite have to do on my list. Just can’t find a good alfredo sauce anywhere but this one has them all hands down. Love you thanks honey
I’m SO glad you liked this! It is just music to my ears! It makes the best leftovers and my girls love it. It’s one of our most requested things at family dinner – even though it’s right here, free for anyone to use and make. Colby is convinced the only reason we get invited is so we’ll bring the Alfredo. 😀
