How To Make Easy Fazoli’s Alfredo Sauce
Step One: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until bubbly. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant — don’t let it brown.
Step Two: Slowly add the heavy cream, whisking continuously to combine and prevent scorching. Gradually stir in grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella until fully melted and smooth.
Step Three: Add salt, black pepper, and optional nutmeg or Italian seasoning to taste. Cook on low for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Step Four: Pour over cooked pasta, drizzle on chicken, or use as a dip for breadsticks immediately.
Copycat Fazoli’s Alfredo Sauce Recipe Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality cheese for the creamiest, most flavorful sauce.
- Grate cheese yourself instead of pre-shredded for smoother melting.
- Don’t overheat the garlic — cook just until fragrant to avoid bitterness.
- Whisk constantly when adding cream to prevent scorching or separating.
- Adjust thickness by simmering longer for thicker sauce or adding a splash more cream for thinner.
- Serve immediately — Alfredo sauce is best fresh, but you can gently reheat over low heat if needed.
- Optional flavor boost: A pinch of nutmeg or Italian seasoning adds depth.
Storing Instructions
Store your Easy Copycat Fazoli’s Alfredo Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently over low heat on the stove, stirring frequently to prevent separation, or warm in the microwave in short intervals, whisking between each, until smooth and creamy. Avoid freezing, as the dairy-based sauce may separate and become grainy.
Easy Copycat Fazoli’s Alfredo Sauce Recipe Faqs
Can I make this Alfredo sauce ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare it a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving.
Can I use pre-shredded cheese? You can, but freshly grated Parmesan and mozzarella melt more smoothly and give a creamier sauce.
How can I make the sauce thicker or thinner? Simmer longer to thicken, or add a splash of heavy cream to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Can I make it dairy-free or lighter? Yes! Substitute butter with vegan butter, use a plant-based cream, and choose a dairy-free cheese alternative.
Can I freeze this Alfredo sauce? It’s not recommended. Freezing may cause the dairy to separate and the sauce to become grainy.
