Alfredo sauce is a popular creamy sauce that is typically made with heavy cream, butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. However, there are many variations of Alfredo sauce, and one popular variation uses milk instead of cream. Milk is a lower-fat alternative to cream, and it can still create a rich and creamy sauce. Additionally, using milk instead of cream can make the sauce lighter and less heavy. If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make Alfredo sauce that is also lower in fat, then you should try this recipe using milk instead of cream.

NO-CREAM ALFREDO SAUCE
Traditional Roman fettucine Alfredo doesn't contain a drop of cream or milk, so whether you have none in your refrigerator or you are a traditionalist, this is the recipe for you. Just because there's no cream, however, doesn't mean it isn't over the top with richness and flavor.

Tips:
- Choose the right milk: Whole milk or 2% milk will yield a richer sauce than skim milk or 1% milk. You can also use a combination of milk and cream for a richer flavor.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give your sauce the best flavor. Avoid using pre-grated Parmesan cheese, as it often contains additives that can affect the taste of the sauce.
- Don't overcook the sauce: Alfredo sauce should be cooked until it is hot and bubbly, but not boiling. Overcooking the sauce will cause it to become thick and clumpy.
- Serve immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make the sauce ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce over low heat until it is hot and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, from pasta to chicken to vegetables. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it rich and creamy or light and tangy, there's an Alfredo sauce recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Alfredo sauce a try.
