No-Cream Alfredo Sauce
"I make my alfredo sauce with evaporated milk from the pantry instead of fresh cream from the supermarket. My family enjoys this convenient and delicious sauce often. They claim to like it even better than restaurant alfredo sauce! I hope you'll also enjoy it."

I registered on this site simply because I needed to leave a review of this recipe. IT ROCKS!!! Fast, easily adjusted if needed, Goes with so many things.. I put mine on spaghetty squash and chicken. OMG I will never ever ever buy alfredo sauce again. I don't know who this Deb is.. but THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. It is a total hit with every one I feed it to. -
So good! So so good! Big hit with the family. I will be making this regularly! -
Good recipe for a lower fat alfredo but I found the sauce to be a bit sticky tasting. But, it still was yummy for a quick meal. -
Great recipe!! I tripled this for company tonight and served with pasta, grilled chicken, and sauteed mushrooms. One of the guests couldn't get enough of it and said it reminded him of some Italian restaurant he likes. Will definitely be making this again! -
This was good in a pinch. I thought I had some alfredo sauce and when I went to make my "usual" sauce, I didn't have any cream. I followed the recipe exactly as written but I didn't add any of the optional ingredients but used it in Recipe #10521
