- To save time, use a pre-made Alfredo sauce. However, if you have the time, making your sauce from scratch will give you a richer flavor.
- If you don't have a Crock-Pot, you can also make this recipe in a slow cooker.
- For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the sauce and bring to a simmer.

- Serve over your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti.
