This gluten free Alfredo sauce recipe is rich, creamy, and cheesy, offering a nostalgic restaurant-quality taste without any gluten. Ready in under 30 minutes, it pairs perfectly with gluten free fettuccine for a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 12 ounces gluten free fettuccine

Sauce

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 ½ cups half and half
  • 1 ½ cups fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh chopped parsley to serve

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten free fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the garlic turns golden brown and fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the half and half. Gradually whisk in the fresh grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until the cheese completely melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. The sauce may appear slightly thin initially but will thicken as it combines with the pasta starch.
  4. Toss Pasta with Sauce: Add the cooked gluten free fettuccine directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Taste and adjust salt as desired.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs beautifully with air fryer chicken cutlets or your choice of protein.

Notes

  • Parmesan cheese is naturally salty, so start with a small amount of salt and adjust as needed to avoid over-salting.
  • Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese is preferred as it melts better and avoids the anti-caking agents found in some pre-grated cheeses.
  • For best results, use gluten free pasta to keep this dish entirely gluten free.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator and gently reheated with a splash of half and half to maintain creaminess.
