  • Don't be afraid to add more garlic. Garlic is a key flavor in Alfredo sauce, so don't be afraid to add more if you like it.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. The cheese is the other key flavor in Alfredo sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. Alfredo sauce is best when it's cooked just until it's thickened and creamy.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. Alfredo sauce is best served immediately, while it's still hot and creamy.
