Warm pasta smothered in creamy Alfredo sauce is the perfect winter meal. Yes, soup is a classic and pretty much any hot meal this time of year is a winner, but there’s something about this Italian staple that just warms your soul.
Alfredo — also known as “white sauce” or “pasta in blanco” — is traditionally made with heavy cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese and used in place of traditional pasta sauce. Fettucine Alfredo is obviously a meal fit for the gods (I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t like this dish!), but Alfredo sauce can also be used with any other type of noodles or on pizza. This is especially great if your stomach is sensitive to the spicier red sauces.
If you don’t have the time (or the energy) to whip up a homemade Alfredo sauce, there are lots of great store-bought options to choose from. These come in several different varieties, including dairy-free, keto-friendly, and with no added sugar, so you can enjoy a tasty dinner that fits your dietary needs. Not to mention, with extra stuff like garlic and truffles, these store-bought Alfredo sauce options will elevate your regular pasta dinner. Stock up on your favorite or buy different ones for different meals. You’ll love having these on hand the next time you need to whip up a quick and delicious dinner.
