I LOVE getting fettuccine alfredo at most restaurants, but the jarred stuff always tastes bland and terrible to me. After trying many online recipes, I mixed a few basics and few ideas to find a recipe that was perfect for me and my family. And here it is! We serve our alfredo sauce over fettuccine or tortellini. It’s also great to use as a sauce on a homemade veggie pizza or in veggie lasagna. Enjoy!
