We make pasta a lot and we usually eat it with marinara sauce. I wanted to change it up recently and have alfredo. Trouble was, we didn’t have a jar of alfredo sauce.
That’s when I remembered that my dad had made homemade alfredo sauce for me when I was young.
So, I took it upon myself to create his recipe for an incredible homemade alfredo sauce. This is definitely one that’s staying on our weekly menu.
