Keto Alfredo Sauce is a decadent and rich sauce that introduces the full taste of the traditional Italian cuisine to the low-carb, keto diet. This sauce is fitness-conscious and luxurious and is perfect when drizzled on zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, grilled chicken or seafood. It has only a couple of simple ingredients, such as butter, heavy cream, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and it provides a velvety texture without using flour or other high-carb thickeners.
Garlic will introduce a pleasant warmth, and a whiff of nutmeg will add sophistication to the flavors. In comparison to the classic Alfredo, the keto version maintains low net carbs, which is why it is suitable for any person on the ketogenic diet. The super speedy and so versatile Keto Alfredo Sauce is a reminder that low-carb cuisine does not have to mean low-quality food. It is delicious, creamy, and fulfilling, and it will be great on weeknight dinners or the gourmet appearance on a special occasion, making sure that you stay healthy and at the same time indulgent.
