Description
This keto Alfredo sauce is rich, creamy, and full of savory parmesan flavor with a smooth buttery texture. It comes together quickly and pairs perfectly with chicken, vegetables, or low-carb pasta alternatives.
Ingredients
1/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
A pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until smooth and gently bubbling.
- Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the grated parmesan cheese while stirring continuously.
- Continue cooking until the cheese fully melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Serve immediately over keto-friendly pasta, vegetables, or protein of choice.
Notes
Freshly grated parmesan melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
Add cooked chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
Stir in spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of heavy cream while reheating.
Avoid overheating to prevent the cheese from becoming grainy.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
