This sauce isn’t technically alfredo sauce because feta cheese is in the mix. Feta and Cream Cheese Alfredo is an indulgently rich and creamy sauce that comes together quickly in 10-15 minutes. Perfect for a weeknight dinner option and I highly recommend it!
Tips for making this recipe
- For consistency, use a whisk to smooth out the sauce. Spoons are good for tasting but not so much for smoothing out lumps of cheese.
- Be sure to stay close by the stove when cooking. It’s quick to make but doesn’t taste good burnt.
- Cutting the feta and cream cheese into chunks before adding to the pan will help reduce the cooking time.
Is it Healthy?
It is low-carb but does have high fat, but good fats from the butter and cream. It can become high carb when tossed with pasta. Spaghetti Squash would be a great low-carb option for this sauce.
How can I make a lightened-up version of this?
Use milk in place of cream and light cream cheese to help reduce the fat and calories.
Can I freeze Feta Cream Cheese Alfredo Sauce?
Absolutely! I love having this on hand in the freezer. Store in an airtight container.
