    Olive Garden Fettuccine Alfredo Copycat

    Are you ready for an easy and cheesy dish? It’s so simple to make and not costly to throw together for your family during the weeknights. This Olive Garden alfredo sauce is pretty close to the real deal.

    I’ve been making this recipe for over 10 years and sometimes I like to change it up by adding in Romano or Asiago cheese as well.

    Traditionally, alfredo sauce is made with only Parmesan and butter. However, this Olive Garden recipe for alfredo sauce is creamy, cheesy, rich, and doesn’t take a lot of fuss to make it.

    • Fettuccine Noodles
    • Heavy Whipping Cream

    Asiago and Romano cheese are great additions to this alfredo sauce. If you are making chicken fettuccine alfredo you will need 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts.

    Looking for a keto chicken fettuccine alfredo recipe?

    There are times I do the keto diet and make this Alfredo sauce to top it on some grilled chicken breast strips.

    It’s a great alternative for dinner without the carbs, but keeping up your moderate protein and high fat that is needed to maintain the keto lifestyle.

    A delicious replacement for the noodles would be zucchini noodles or 2-ingredient cheese noodles.
