Hey, there.
Lacey here with A Sweet Pea Chef.
Welcome back.
Today I am so excited to share this recipe because it is a game-changer in our house.
And it's just been used over and over, and we love it so much.
I'm gonna show you how to make homemade Alfredo sauce using just four ingredients.
It takes just 10 minutes to make, and everyone's gonna love it.
It is so delicious.
So, let's get started.

videos and all sorts of healthy eating inspiration.
Okay, so how amazing is Alfredo sauce?
Am I right?
It's luscious, it's creamy, it's indulgent.
It's just so, so delicious.
Those are usually the words that we use.
We don't normally call it healthy either.
But, today, I'm gonna show you how to make this delicious luscious sauce into a healthy
sauce that you can enjoy any day of the week.
Are you ready?
I'm so ready.
So, if you already buy your Alfredo sauce from the store and you're thinking it's not
that big of a deal to have a healthy option versus what you already have, I dare you to
try this recipe.
It's gonna blow your mind.
If you take a look at the back of those jars, even for the good stuff, these are the ingredients
you're going to see.
Then, we used to also use the powdered stuff.
These are the ingredients you're gonna have on the back of that panel.
So, today, I'm gonna show you how to make this using four ingredients.
And it's so easy and delicious and just as good.
For reals, it's so simple.
We need cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, and garlic powder.
That is it.
That's all we need.
All right.
So, we need everything to be nice and smooth, and a blender works perfectly for this.
So, grab your blender and add in your cottage cheese, followed by your Parmesan cheese,
your milk of choice, I use unsweetened almond milk, but whatever one you want is cool, and
some garlic powder.
Instead of garlic powder, you can always add in a fresh clove of garlic.
I personally like garlic powder in this sauce because it's not as strong, and it's just
this kind of subtle garlic flavor.
And then blend this mixture until it's nice and smooth and creamy.
And that's seriously like the hardest part of this whole recipe.
Now, heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and transfer your blended mixture into the
saucepan.
We're going to stir it frequently because we don't want the bottom of the milk to burn
on the bottom of the pan, and we're looking for it to get heated through.
You don't want to cook it all the way through and have it become to a like a rolling boil
because that's going to overflow your pan and you might burn it, and then the liquid
and the cheese might start separating.
So all we want is just basically heat it through.
That's it.
And, now, poof, you have homemade four-ingredient Alfredo sauce.
It's clean-eating, gluten-free, all sorts of preservative-free, and it's so delicious.
You can eat this right now over some noodles, put it on a baked potato, add it to some pizza
as a sauce, all sorts of options.
Or, you can transfer it to the fridge, into an airtight container once it's cooled a little
bit, and it'll store for up to four to five days in your fridge.
Our favorite way to enjoy this sauce is to toss it with some freshly spiralized zucchini
noodles and just toss it all together.
And it is a way healthier, low-carb option that's a replacement for your normal pasta
and Alfredo sauce.
It's super good.
So, I hope you are just so excited to make this four-ingredient Alfredo sauce.
It's so easy to make.

Bye-bye.
