Alfredo Sauce

Alfredo Sauce

Who loves alfredo!? ME! 

This is a traditional alfredo sauce that happens to be low carb! I tend to eat more low carb meals to maintain my weight. When I want to lose weight I go full speed low carb! I am not hard core enough to go keto though! 

I made this sauce over low carb noodles and the entire dish is 5 carbs!!! 

(Okay they really aren't noodles, they are shirataki noodles!)

I'm going to apologize in advance for my shitty pictures! I used my cell phone and well you know how great cell phone quality can be! 

You only need 3 ingredients for this sauce! Well 4 if you include the black pepper, you HAVE to use black pepper in alfredo.. right!!!?

This recipe is for a single serving. 

Combine 1/4 cup half and half with 2 table spoons of butter over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. 

Add 1/4 cup of Parmesan to your mixture and mix well.

And... that's it! Add your pepper and put over some noodles! Talk about easy right???

​

I served my sauce over Shirataki noodles with a few mushrooms. It would be bomb-diggity with chicken and broccoli too! 

Alfredo, chicken, and broccoli is another fabulous low carb meal... FYI!

For those of you watching your carb count this dish is a whopping 5 carbs (I rounded up so it is actually less!).
