On Andrew and I’s first date, he ordered Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo. I learned that it was his favorite meal.  I sat and watched him devour it. He was so happy. Neither of us went out often and I preferred to cook at home, even in the beginning of our relationship.  The thing is, I didn’t know how to cook well then.  Most of my meals consisted of jars and boxes and processed ingredients. I tried making an alfredo recipe with a jar of sauce and we both laughed.  It wasn’t horrible, but it definitely didn’t taste like what he loved.

I used to think you have to go to an Italian restaurant for the best alfredo sauce recipe, but a few years ago I learned just how easy it was to make an easy alfredo sauce. We didn’t need a jar and I didn’t need a restaurant.  I just needed a few, simple ingredients and I could make an easy homemade alfredo sauce recipe that everyone would love.
