Sprinkle on some fresh parsley and set out a basket of crusty breadsticks to make it an Italian feast.<\/p>\n<p>This copycat Olive Garden Alfredo sauce recipe is easy to make and comes together in only 20 minutes. It&#8217;s arguably better than the original (as are our other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/olive-garden-copycat-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/olive-garden-copycat-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olive Garden copycat recipes<\/a>!). Serve the sauce the classic way\u2014over fettuccine or your favorite long noodles\u2014or use it as a dipping sauce for a batch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-copycat-olive-garden-breadsticks\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-copycat-olive-garden-breadsticks\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">copycat Olive Garden breadsticks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Butter is a staple ingredient in traditional Alfredo sauces, contributing to the sauce&#8217;s rich base. There&#8217;s no substitute for real butter; the dish just wouldn&#8217;t taste the same without it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy whipping cream:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/heavy-cream-vs-whipping-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/heavy-cream-vs-whipping-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Heavy whipping cream and heavy cream<\/a> are similar, but they have different milk fat contents. If you decide to substitute, the consistency might be slightly different.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheeses:<\/strong> You could use Parmesan cheese alone, but adding Romano cheese makes this one of the cheesiest Alfredo sauces out there!\u00a0 For best results, grate the cheese yourself instead of buying pre-grated cheese. The sauce will be at its creamiest when the cheese is freshly grated and brought to room temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg yolks:<\/strong> Not all Alfredo recipes include egg yolks, but we add them in ours to thicken the sauce without using flour. Egg yolks also add depth and richness to creamy sauces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nutmeg:<\/strong> A dash of ground nutmeg elevates the Alfredo along with the usual salt and pepper. It&#8217;s what makes Olive Garden&#8217;s Alfredo sauce stand out among its peers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minced fresh parsley:<\/strong> While optional, fresh parsley adds a fresh finish to the rich sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fettuccine:<\/strong> Fettuccine is the classic noodle for Alfredo sauce, but you can swap in linguine (or your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pasta shape<\/a>) to change up the eating experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the pasta<\/h3>\n<p>Cook the fettuccine according to package directions.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Prepare the Alfredo sauce<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1793299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GHT22_21260_ST_07_13_Copycat-Olive-Garden-Alfredo_1.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"melted butter for olive garden alfredo sauce\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1793298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GHT22_21260_ST_07_13_Copycat-Olive-Garden-Alfredo_2.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"olive garden cream in melted butter for olive garden alfredo sauce \" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Stir in the cream, 1\/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, egg yolks, salt, pepper and nutmeg.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/em>Be sure to choose a saucepan that will fit the sauce and the cooked fettuccine.

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-reheat-pasta\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-reheat-pasta\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">reheat pasta<\/a>, transfer the leftovers to a saucepan and add a splash of water or milk to loosen the sauce. Heat them over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until they&#8217;re warmed through. You can also warm leftovers in the microwave.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make Alfredo sauce ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make Alfredo sauce a couple days ahead of time so it&#8217;s ready to combine with pasta. Prepare the sauce as directed, and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. When you&#8217;re ready to eat, prepare the pasta as directed. Reheat the sauce over medium-low heat until warmed through.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze Alfredo sauce?<\/h3>\n<p>We don&#8217;t recommend freezing dairy-based sauces like this Olive Garden Alfredo recipe. The sauce can separate while defrosting, giving it a gritty texture.<\/p>\n<h2>Copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1793292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GHT22_21260_ST_07_13_Copycat-Olive-Garden-Alfredo_8.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"olive garden alfredo sauce\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you make Alfredo sauce thicker or thinner?<\/h3>\n<p>If this Alfredo sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk, heavy cream or water to thin it out. Alternatively, if the sauce isn&#8217;t thick enough, you can simmer the cooked pasta in the sauce for a minute or two. The pasta will release starches and thicken the sauce. If that isn&#8217;t working, try adding extra cheese to give the sauce more body.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Olive Garden&#8217;s Alfredo sauce gluten-free?<\/h3>\n<p>According to Olive Garden&#8217;s nutritional information, their Alfredo sauce contains dairy, wheat and gluten\u2014but our copycat Alfredo sauce is gluten-free! Instead of using a traditional flour-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-roux\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-roux\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roux<\/a>, we thicken the butter and heavy cream with grated cheese and egg yolks. Just make sure to use your favorite brand of gluten-free pasta.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make Alfredo sauce without heavy cream?<\/h3>\n<p>Heavy whipping cream gives Alfredo sauce a thick, rich consistency, but half-and-half cream can be substituted for a lighter result. If needed, the sauce can be thickened with flour or cornstarch (the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-thickener\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-thickener\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best thickener<\/a> for creating a gluten-free sauce). Alternatively, softened cream cheese can be whisked in to thicken the creamy sauce, although it will change the flavor profile slightly, making it tangier.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can recreate Olive Garden Alfredo sauce at home in only 20 minutes!

If your butter breaks more than you like, try blending the egg\/cream before adding to the warm butter, and\/or temper the cream mix by adding a little warm butter to raise the temperature gradually. There's a chance the egg cooked some before it had a chance to do its chemistry, thereby blowing its emulsifying properties.  We added shrimp and a bit more salt. I will try it with other proteins in the future.  Who really follows a recipe, anyway.
