My kids love anything Italian and prefer homemade dishes. It has happened so many times that we have taken them to various good restaurants but other then a few things they didn't like anything over there and came home cribbing.
In the last few years at home, we have never used store-bought sauce. I always make Marinara sauce, Basil pesto, Cheese sauce and Alfredo sauce. Most of the time I make the sauce and freeze it in separate small size containers. These frozen sauce containers are life-savers and they make school lunch making and dinner a welcome breeze.
Alfredo Sauce takes very little time to make and tastes amazing when made fresh. I use a vegetarian recipe. I have been using this recipe for at least 5 -6 years now and I can say that it never broke my trust. It's a keeper in any kitchen and that is why I thought, why not share this recipe with you?
