Creamy Gluten-Free Alfredo Sauce
This gluten-free alfredo sauce is a quick and easy solution for weeknight dinners. With its rich, creamy texture and wholesome ingredients, it’s the best homemade alfredo sauce without flour.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup milk of choice (whole milk preferred, but any cow's milk will work)
- 1 1/2 cups (3-6 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a medium pot or skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Add the cream cheese to the butter mixture and let it sit for a minute to begin melting.
- Whisk the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Be patient—it might take a few minutes of whisking to fully combine.
- While whisking, slowly pour in the milk a bit at a time until completely incorporated and smooth.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until the sauce is creamy and everything is fully combined.
- For a thicker sauce, cook for an additional 2–3 minutes. For a thinner sauce, remove from heat as soon as the cheese melts.
- Adjust the seasonings to taste with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately over gluten-free pasta and enjoy!
Notes
Tip: Keep whisking for a smooth, lump-free sauce, especially when incorporating the Parmesan cheese.
