Many homemade alfredo sauce recipes do not include garlic, but I love my garlic alfredo sauce version. The garlic just adds an extra zing of flavor to my recipes.

Simmer the olive oil with minced garlic over low heat.

Continue to simmer. Add heavy cream and more olive oil. This is such an easy Alfredo sauce recipe, isn’t it?
