Fresh tradtional Alfredo Sauce. I know that everyone and their dog has an Alfredo Sauce. I got this recipe from a little Italian lady that took me under her wing to teach me how to cook good Italian food. She learned how to cook from the old country and cooked professionally in Victoria, BC until she retired. Enjoy!

  • Don't overcook the sauce, or it will become thick and gloppy.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce, not vice versa. This will help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.

  • Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, for extra flavor.
