If you are a fan of Olive Garden Alfredo you are going to be saving some big $$’s with this Copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce Recipe. A rich and creamy sauce that is perfect with your favorite pasta. We personally like Fettuccine topped with Alfredo. Pasta at it’s best! This is a quick and easy dish that you can whip up for weeknight dinners. I added in some simple shrimp and broccoli (my daughter’s favorite) to make it a bit special.

We love eating at Olive Garden but, we really do not like how quickly one meal can add up. My daughter was craving a Olive Garden Salad and a Alfredo with Shrimp entree.  In order to please her and our budget I whipped up this dish to pair with our CopyCat Olive Garden Salad Dressing and salads.

Cierra was super excited when she smelled this dish cooking as she walked in from running errands. I was super excited that I satisfied her cravings for Olive Garden at home without a huge dining bill. The dish was super delish and will be on our dinner tables often. I am hoping to try the Alfredo Sauce with some chicken next week. YUM!
