There is something about the richness of alfredo sauce the comforts the soul. This recipe brings that same comfort food to your kitchen. Working as a chef I find that the simplest recipes are normally the best. This is what I set to achieve with this alfredo sauce. This is a recipe a beginner can prepare and get professional results. It is also very versatile. You can add chicken, seafood, beef or pork to enhance the dish. We enjoy grilled shrimp or chicken. Try this for your next family dinner.
