If you love cheese flavors, you will love this simple alfredo sauce recipe. This is the ultimate alfredo sauce for pasta, seafood, and many other recipes you can think of.
One of my favorite pasta sauces is a simple alfredo sauce made from scratch.

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 this 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 alfredo sauce with?
Gluten Free Zucchini Lasagna Alfredo:
I made this pasta free Super Cheesy Zucchini Ribbon Lasagna Alfredo with my favorite 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!

I love a good Alfredo sauce, and yes, I cannot do without the garlic either! Yumm!
We need to start a garlic in alfredo club :-).
Mmmmm. Alfredo sauce is one of my faves. I’ve never tried it over cauliflower though, what a great idea! I usually make mine with butter, so I’m curious to try it with olive oil instead, but I am like you in that garlic is a must! 😉
I will have to try it with butter Tracy, sounds so good!
Alfredo is such a versatile sauce, it tastes good with so many different types of foods. This recipe sounds delightful.
I hope you enjoy Rae :-).
