Looking for a quick and easy meal? This Easy Homemade Alfredo Sauce comes together quickly with your favorite pasta to serve up a meal the whole family will enjoy.

When I am home with Sofie, I make her lunch every day. Sometimes it is my Air Fryer Parmesan Ranch Chicken Tenders, sometimes it is Mac N Cheese, and sometimes I just come up with my own concoction.

That is where this Easy Homemade Alfredo Sauce came from! I have never really had any luck cooking with cream or making creamy pastas, but once I started playing with it a bit, I realized how easy it actually was. AND way better then the funky tasting jarred alfredo sauce.

What you need for this Easy Homemade Alfredo Sauce

I wanted to make an easy alfredo sauce with things we always have in the kitchen. So here is what I used:

Butter
Milk
Parmesan Cheese
Garlic
Optional** Salt and Pepper, Italian Seasoning, basil, etc.

I like to use Whole Wheat pasta or Veggie Delights so that we are getting added nutrition in, too. But other traditional pasta works just as well!

What can I add to this easy pasta to make a more complete meal?

Chicken or Shrimp
Broccoli (we do this often)
Cherry Tomatoes, Spinach, other vegetables
Pesto (check out How to Make Pesto over at Foodwinesunshine.com)
Pine Nuts

How to make Easy Homemade Alfredo Sauce

First start by melting butter in a medium saucepan. Then add the milk and garlic ( I also did a dash of salt and pepper) . Let heat to a simmer.

Then slowly whisk in your grated parmesan. Whisk and let simmer until thickens up a little bit. Pour right over your cooked noodles and stir. Serve with more grated cheese and enjoy!!!

I usually toss in whatever add ins at this point, like broccoli, Italian seasoning, garlic powder.
