Needed: 3 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons greek yogurt, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 egg yolk, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and salt + pepper to taste.
In a small pot melt together the butter and yogurt over medium heat. Whisk in the cream. In a small bowl combine the egg yolk and add a tablespoon of the hot cream—whisk together. This will temper the yolk. Now add the yolk to the pot and whisk to combine. Let this simmer for a few minutes to allow the cream to thicken. Stir in the cheese and season with salt + pepper. Now you are ready to serve.
Make some pasta this weekend. Do it. xo. Emma

Pasta is hands down the best comfort food. A.k.a number one in my heart. Thanks for sharing Emma!

Alfredo sauce is my favorite, pasta is something I make multiple times a week (so quick and easy!). I’ve never thought of making my own rather than using cans, but I will DEFINITELY be trying this out soon! Thanks!!

My favorite Italian place here in Austin, TX (Milto’s, its called) puts little bits of dill in their alfredo sauce. It gives it a really unique, amazing flavor. This recipe looks really good, but I’d have to try it with some dill added 🙂
OMG This is so awesome!
My mom and I were stuck with now sauce for our pasta and this should have come sooner!
Thanks! Definitely saving!

This looks so yummy i’ll try the recipe tomorrow.xo
I make alfredo sauce more than I should and I wanted to add in that adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the butter for a minute or so before adding everything else makes a delightfully spicy sauce. I’m always sad when ordering Alfredo because it never has the spice mine does at home.
Yum! I love alfredo sauce and this recipe looks so easy. Thank you!
I LOVE alfredo sauce and this looks so easy! Pinning it so I can try it soon! 🙂

Thanks

A little freshly grated nutmeg really adds to any Alfredo sauce!

it looks yummy!
but real alfredo sauce has flour, butter, milk, salt, white pepper and pork ham (the frenchs calls it bechamel sauce)
It’s funny ‘cos this “Alfredo sauce” doesn’t exist in Italy (I’m Italian) ^_^
I LOVE this recipe. I never thought to use greek yogurt in Alfredo sauce. I bet it adds a nice hint of tang. I’m excited to try this.
Looks delicious! I’ll have to try it!

I second the addition of a little nutmeg. It sounds weird, but it really accentuates the flavor of the parmesan.
I’m crazy about pasta too! There’s nothing so delicious as a good pasta dish, plus, many of them are so easy to make. Never tried the Alfredo sauce, but I’ll definitely will!
This looks so delicious! I love pasta.

I’ve never made my own alfredo sauce, I always buy it. I really want to try this!
The Greek Yogurt makes me feel less guilt about all that cream! But when it tastes so good, who really cares in the end? 🙂
Alfredo sauce: an all time classic!
YUM. I do love a good alfredo sauce!

Hmmm love alfredo sauce. Thanks for the recipe!
This looks so yummy, I will definitely give it a try!
Congrats! Small business runs deep in my family and I always love seeing others achieve success!
Since I’m Italian I eat pasta very often but I have to say to all Americans out there that “Alfredo sauce” is pretty common in USA but in Italy it doesn’t exist. I know it’s weird, like “bolognese spaghetti” made with meat balls… well there are “fettuccine con ragù alla bolognese” (ragù means “sauce of minced meat, tomato, onions and sometimes carrots) and people eat spaghetti with meat balls as well, but it’s a kind of Disney thing, if you know what I mean 😀
Anyway you can find the story about “fettuccine Alfredo” in it’s own website here
http://www.alfredo-roma.it/index-eng.htm
but you must know that you’ll find it only in that restaurant in Rome! 😉

Oh my goodness, THANK YOU for this! 🙂
Wow, this looks awesome. I absolutely love alfredo sauce, to the point that I crave it. They don’t do it here in the UK though, so my only option is to make it. Trouble is it’s so bad for you… Not that this recipe is innocent, but I like the greek yoghurt touch. Planning on making this very soon!
Mmmmm, so hungry right now!

“A warm bowl of pasta is the perfect comfort food”
YES. Also, I didn’t realise how easy this was to make! I’m definitely giving it a go, as pasta is a wonderful “on a budget” food.

This cream looks so delicious! If you like italian food, try some of my recipes and let be inspired by the pics I take: http://lifeincurl.blogspot.com
I’ve made alfredo sauce before, but never with yogurt. I can’t wait to see what that does to the flavor profile.
Basics always are the best, on a week night with a glass of white wine, this is a beautiful night!

I second the nutmeg, and finish with lemon zest!

This was so yummy.
I’ve always struggled with cooking, and lately I’ve been challenging myself to 1) Improve my cooking skillz (<3) and 2) To really enjoy cooking.
This was so easy... and my family thought it was so delicious that it did wonders for my self esteem 🙂
