    Fettuccine Alfredo

    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.

    There are so many yummy Olive Garden copycat recipes out there like five-cheese fonduta dip, lasagna frittas, and their truly addicting never-ending breadsticks (which are perfect for dipping in the five-cheese fonduta!)

    Ingredients for Olive Garden’s Fettuccine Alfredo

    • Fettuccine Noodles
    • Heavy Whipping Cream
    • Butter
    • Parmesan Cheese
    • Garlic Salt
    • Parsley, which is optional for topping

    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.

    How to Make Fettuccine Alfredo

    • Boil 8 cups of water in a pot and add fettuccine noodles. Cook until al dente, according to directions on the box, and drain.
    • In a saucepan, melt butter. Over medium heat, whisk in heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese (and Romano and Asiago if adding them to the sauce.)
    • Continue stirring until cheese is melted and begins to thicken. Stir in garlic salt.
    • Serve sauce over fettuccine noodles and top with parsley.

    How to Make Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

    • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
    • Once hot, add chicken breasts to grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until no longer pink in the center. Slice into strips.

    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 is needed to maintain the keto lifestyle.

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