This is the first time that I have made a "real" Alfredo Sauce and it did not disappoint! My husband requested chicken and broccoli fettucine alfredo for his birthday supper and this is the recipe that I decided to try. He loved it and I will definitely be using this as my go to alfredo sauce from here on out!!

Rich, creamy, smooth and delicious! This recipe is exactly what you want in an alfredo sauce. Alfredo sauce is one of my favorite things to order and to make and this one is now my all-time favorite. It is restaurant quality! I made it exactly as written because there is no need to change a thing. I served it over fettuccine, but it would be wonderful with absolutely any kind of pasta or pasta dish. I can't wait to try it in white lasagna! Thanks for sharing!

I live on the coast of Florida, near St. Pete. Great seafood abounds here! Cooking good, family friendly meals is my passion, and my kids are as into it as I am. (My 3 year old cracks a mean egg!)
