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.

ALFREDO SAUCE MIX
A take-off on a recipe from CDKitchen - Made this & it was great! Does NOT have that "Oh, you used dry milk" taste, at all! Note: there is no way, when listing the ingredients, to let you know to use EITHER the butter OR the sour cream, so they are both listed, but choose one or the other!

Tips for Making Alfredo Sauce with Milk
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Use fresh milk, butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic.
- Don't boil the sauce. Alfredo sauce is a delicate sauce that should never be boiled. Keep the heat on low and stir constantly to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Add the cheese gradually. Adding the cheese all at once can cause the sauce to curdle. Instead, add it gradually, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and smooth.
- Season the sauce to taste. Alfredo sauce is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. However, you can adjust the seasonings to your own taste.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Alfredo sauce is best served immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.
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 is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With these tips, you can make a perfect Alfredo sauce every time.
