Easy Alfredo Sauce

How to make homemade Alfredo sauce with milk instead of cream

When I was a child my mother would make a homemade white sauce to pour over vegetables.

I loved this homemade sauce as a child and it’s probably the reason I ate vegetables like spinach and Brussel sprouts as I was growing up.

One day a few years ago (ha like 12 years ago but who’s counting?) I was in the mood for some Fettuccine Alfredo but didn’t have any Alfredo sauce on hand.

I decided to make my own alfredo sauce using the recipe my mother made as a base.

At the time, I had no idea how an alfredo sauce was made.

Years later when I looked it up I saw most alfredo recipes have cream cheese added or cream.

To be honest, I prefer the way my homemade alfredo sauce tastes so much better.

This homemade alfredo sauce recipe made with milk is thick rich and creamy.

And by making it yourself you can season it to your own liking.

Easy Alfredo sauce with milk

This easy homemade Alfredo Sauce recipe makes enough Alfredo sauce to cover 1 pound of fettuccine noodles.

You can divide it in half with no problem if you need to prepare a smaller amount.

You can also half the alfredo sauce recipe and omit the Parmesan cheese and use it as a cream sauce for over vegetables if you’re not in the mood for fettuccine Alfredo.

How to make Homemade Alfredo Sauce with milk

Ingredients

  • 1 lb box of fettuccine noodles, cooked
  • 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups of milk
  • ½ to ¾ a cup of grated Parmesan cheese or a parmesan cheese blend

Directions

  1. Cook the pasta as directed on the box in the salted water.
  2. Start boiling the water about 10 minutes before you start making your sauce.
  3. You want to have the pasta ready at about the same time your sauce will be finished.

To make the Alfredo sauce:

  1. Add the butter, salt, and pepper to a heavy, medium-sized pot. Heat over a medium heat. You don’t want to use too small of a pot because you will be whisking the sauce as it cooks and thickens. If the pot is too small the sauce could splash and drip over the side of the pot making a big mess.
  2. Once the butter has melted add the flour and whisk until smooth, removing all lumps from the flour.
  3. Slowly pour the milk in and whisk until smooth again. Turn the heat up a bit to about medium-high.
  4. Add ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, whisk until combined. Taste to see if the flavor of Parmesan is strong enough for you. If not, add the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  5. Continue whisking until the sauce has thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. The sauce will thicken even further as it cools. If it thickens too much before you can add it to your pasta thin it with a little pasta water or milk.
  6. Drain your pasta and put into a large bowl. Pour the Alfredo sauce over the pasta and mix until the pasta is evenly coated.
  7. Serve immediately with a crusty french bread or a slice of homemade white bread.

This homemade alfredo sauce recipe is very versatile.

You can make a cheese sauce by substituting the parmesan cheese with cheddar cheese.

If you like a little spice to your fettuccine Alfredo sauce sprinkle ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes in the sauce when you remove it from the heat.

You can also add some broccoli and cooked chicken if you like to make Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo.

Notes

You can use the powdered Parmesan cheese or fresh Parmesan cheese. I’ve used both. Adjust the amounts used if using fresh. Fresh is a bit stronger.
Start with ½ cup of Parmesan cheese and taste before adding more.

  4. Great recipe Thanks! I didn’t have cream cheese so this was the perfect recipe for what I had on hand, better without cream cheese and not as harsh on the stomach. Writing this one down for keeps 😉

    • Thank you Lex I hope you enjoy it. I’ve never made alfredo sauce with cream cheese. Matter of fact I had no clue there was cream cheese in it. I love this recipe. Sometimes I add pepper jack cheese to it to give it a nice kick.

  7. Thank you So Much! I don’t keep a lot of extra things in the pantry….there’s just me…and I came home with such a yearning for fettucini. Your recipe was the only ‘quick and easy’ one that didn’t call for cream, whipping cream, or cream cheese…none of which I have around. It’s cold and blustery, I’ll soon light a fire, and get to sit it front of it..and the TV…and feel very blessed. I haven’t tried it yet, but from what I read above, I will love it. Thank you, again, so much.

  20. did a quick search for Alfredo sauce, came across this… didn’t realize how simple it really is! thanks! of course I had condensed milk not regular milk so I used it, and I thought I had Parmesan, but found out too late that I’m out (insert gasp here) so I substituted mozzarella cheese which needed over a cup to make it work… It was good though and I can’t wait to make it the right way, thanks again!

  22. Thank you for the wonderful recipe. My oven is broken so I can only use the cooktop so I had to use leftovers for dinner this evening. I wanted to make pasta with alfredo sauce. I found your recipe first and thought I woukd try it. I sauteed mushrooms, red peppers and left over bbq chicken, mixed them with your sauce and poured it over penne noodles. It was amazing. I will definitely be making it again. It was a huge hit. Thanks!

  26. Great Base Recipe! I knew Alfredo sauce didn’t have a LOT of ingredients so when I ran out of the usual pre-made pasta kits (you know…the famous blue box) my family knew it was game on because we’re not shopping again until EVERYTHING is out of the house! My daughter found 1/2 box of lasagna and thinkig we still had some of the jar alfredo sauce left suggested I just combine the two. After surveying the remaining contents of our fridge and doing a search for Alfredo sauce, I decided on a collard lasagna dish with your (modified) alfredo sauce recipe. The other recipes called for heavy cream so after another search I found you. The kids were like, “oh great…she’s at it again…another concoction.” It turned out GREAT! Everyone was pleasantly surprised (myself included) and requested to take the leftover to school this morning! Thanks so much.

  32. I love alfredo. I wonder if your sauce would work in something like Olive Gardens five cheese ziti. I have been trying to figure out how to recreate it but healthier.

    Reply

  34. Oh my goodness. This is amazing. I just could not stop eating it. I prolly put in a little more Parmesan than I should have, but after about 3 bites it transformed into something amazing. I mean the first bite I was like wow, that is the best I have had, just a bit too much Parmesan. Second bite I was like, ‘wow getting better.’ Third bite, I knew that I had not added to much Parmesan, I just needed to let the other ingredients put in their two cents. I put the full 2/3 cup in at first because it was all that I had left. Yes, it was the Kraft stuff in a bottle, still amazing. Now, I am going to go finish the pot :D.

  35. I found your recipe about 6 weeks ago – and it quickly became a favorite with my family served over penne with chicken and mushrooms! We make it once a week – and again is we have company over!! I usually add about 1 tsp of garlic powder to the flour , and some dried parsley with the cheese for some green specs…. though dill would also be amazing too….
    Thank you so much for the fabulous recipes…. will try the spicy chicken one next!!

  43. absolutely delicious! i halved the recipe and made it in the microwave (taking care to remove and whisk regularly, every 45 sec or so), and while it likely took a little longer, it came out just fine. i used grated romano, and didn’t cut the salt back enough, but it was still delicious.
    thanks for posting: it’s now my default alfredo sauce!

  45. Just want to say thank you for posting this! It’s so easy and convenient, this is our go-to Alfredo sauce recipe now. (Bow-tie pasta is the kids’ favorite though.) For our family of five, I think it’s more economical than buying jars (based on the ladles of sauce they pour on their pasta). Definitely tastier and more versatile! I couldn’t stop dunking my garlic bread in it today! Thank your mom for us!

  48. I am going to be trying this tonight with my Chicken and Broccoli Stuffed shells, The recipe I currently use has more ingredients, heavy cream, milk, butter, Parm/Romano, garlic, 1-2 doz of egg yolks depending on amount I am making. It will be nice to cut down the ingredients for a quick sauce! I will def. keep the garlic in mine though, I love the taste it gives. Thanks for a quick and easy recipe!

      I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe enough to give it another shot with your salt adjustments. I’m sure it depended on the parmesan cheese you used and your salt preferences. Different brands of parm can be much more salty.

Thrilled to have a recipe that calls for milk instead of heavy cream as I often don’t have cream on hand. I chopped some Parmesan off the block and it melted in really nicely. I’m looking forward to seeing how this reheats tomorrow as I’d love to serve it with some fresh ravioli I picked up. Thanks a million for this recipe!

  67. I have to admit, I thought that all the positive, rave reviews were paid reviews, or friends of the Blogger. Yes, I am typically a skeptic. But I have to say, this was by far the easiest recipe I’ve ever made. And not just for alfredo sauce, but easiest recipe probably ever. Also it tasted delicious! And if a non-cook like me can make it, anyone can. There are just two of us, and this made plenty of sauce, we only ate half of everything so we’ll have leftovers for lunch or dinner tomorrow. I’m not a fan of pepper, so omitted it, but added some sauteed onions and broccoli. If I had chicken and mushrooms it would have gone in there too. This is now my go-to alfredo sauce! Thank you!

  73. Absolutely AMAZING!!
    Made the sauce tonight for some leftover Fettuccine Alfredo (w/chicken) that I brought home a couple days ago from a local restaurant. The leftovers didn’t have quite enough sauce and their sauce tasted more like cream than alfredo. So after a quick “Google” search for alfredo not requiring heavy cream (which I rarely have on hand), I came across your recipe and I’m SOOO glad I did! I couldn’t believe how easy this was! It was easy to half too, which was perfect because I was just making it for one. Other than adding a bit of garlic powder, since I prefer a garlic flavor alfredo, I followed the recipe exactly, but halved everything… it turned out perfectly! I’ll never pay $10 for fettuccine alfredo again!! Thank you so much!
    P.S. Glad it doesn’t call for cream cheese, since that’s another ingredient that I rarely have on hand. It’s awesome to have such a simple, delicious recipe that can be made quickly with ingredients I almost always keep around.

  78. I have to say this out loud, this is the best and easiest Alfredo Sauce recipe I’ve come across. My 9 and 2-year old gobbled it up like never before. I never had the courage to try the recipes that call for heavy cream and cream cheese as I never have them on hand but your recipe though simple, packs a punch. The only change I made was that I added garlic salt instead of regular salt and the sauce was divine. How long can I refrigerate the sauce so that I can boil fresh pasta and toss it in it when needed?

What to do with all those noodles? So i decided to make alfredo sauce. When i found your recipe, I realized it is the same recipe as the cheddar cheese sauce i make. It never occured to me that it’s the same thing. Anyhow, I sauteed some garlic and mushrooms before adding the flour,butter, and it was a super easy delicious lunch, and a great way to use up those extra noodles! Thank you!

  82. I cannot believe I found this recipe! I can’t tell you how often I’ve looked for a decent Alfredo sauce but hated the idea of loading cream, butter and cream cheese in one pot! I had a strong craving, yet again, and google Alfredo with milk… Your recipe came up, and wham! I fell in love! I halved the recipe like you suggested, as it was only for myself. I did throw in about 1 tsp of dried basil. Oh … my…. God!

    I ate less than half the sauce, but I can tell you, I have the remainder on the back of my stove, in a covered pot, because it is not going to see the next day.

    It is very rare that I do not “tweak” a recipe because I am unhappy with something. Your recipe is one I am proud to say, DO NOT CHANGE A SINGLE THING!

    Thank you!

  83. This Is so easy to make and so yummy! My grandma never reads the label and I grabbed the alfredo to find out produced with genetic engineering. NO THANK YOU. So i googled how to make without cream and I found this. It is delicious! I substituted parmesan cheese with mozzarella and Colby jack mix and it turned out so good. I made it with three cheese tortellini. I jarred up and froze the remaining suace:)

I have always prepared Alfredo Sauce with Heavy Whipping Cream (which is quite expensive in the city I live in – approximately $10.00 per serving). I am thankful I found your recipe!!! The ingredients were already in my refrigerator :-). I cooked it for lunch today for my two-year old daughter (who loved it!) and I…. and we will enjoy the leftovers for dinner when my teenage son arrives home.
