This was a really quick and easy low carb dinner that was almost as good as the real thing. I will definitely be making this keto Alfredo sauce again and maybe just use it on vegetables.

Keto Alfredo Sauce Ingredients
Alfredo sauce is actually quite easy to make. It only requires cream cheese, garlic, butter, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. These are low carb ingredients that I usually have on hand so I can make this anytime.
How To Make Alfredo Sauce
You start by melting butter in a small sauce pan. Add in the crushed garlic and saute a minute until fragrant. Then add in the cream cheese, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Whisk for a few minutes until all the cheese is melted and well combined. Take off the stove and use immediately.
What To Use This Alfredo Sauce With
For this recipe I used this sauce on wide zucchini noodles. They seem to be the right kind of noodle to mimic regular pasta in my opinion. However I think this sauce would be great over chicken breast, fish and even be delicious on vegetable side dishes.
