Gluten Free Alfredo Sauce From Scratch:

This simple Alfredo sauce is one of my favorite gluten free pasta sauce recipes. It has all of my favorite flavor profiles; garlic, olive oil, and parmesan.

All in one creamy homemade alfredo sauce! This tasty sauce is ready in just a few minutes and has only 4 simple ingredients. It is the best pasta sauce recipe I have ever made and it is so versatile!

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.

How to Make Fettuccine Alfredo:

If you want to make an incredible gluten free fettuccine alfredo, give this Gluten Free Alaskan Cod Fettuccine Alfredo recipe a try. You can make it with or without the cod, but my fish-hating kids love it with the cod. How weird is that?

More importantly, use this handy pasta hack to make sure your pasta is perfectly al dente. Mushy gluten free pasta is horrible! I love this sauce on gluten free spaghetti!

Cauliflower Alfredo:

If you are looking for a delicious vegetarian option, drizzle the gluten free Alfredo sauce on a whole roasted cauliflower. It is so easy to roast a whole cauliflower. Does this make you think about all of the delicious recipes you can use this quick and easy gluten free Alfredo sauce with?

Gluten Free Zucchini Lasagna Alfredo:

I made this pasta free Super Cheesy Zucchini Ribbon Lasagna Alfredo using my easy gluten free alfredo sauce recipe. My picky kids didn’t even notice this lasagna had zucchini ribbons in place of lasagna noodles. Cheese can hide veggies perfectly!

How to Make Homemade Alfredo Sauce:

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?

Continue to simmer and add the parmesan cheese. Feel free to toss in some fresh basil if you like!

Pour the gluten free Alfredo sauce on vegetables or fish, toss it with pasta, eat it by the spoonful….use it in any dish you may like!
