Hip Tips for this keto alfredo sauce recipe:
- Season your sauce as desired. I used a little bit of my favorite truffle salt, and it worked so well with these flavors! Of course, traditional salt is fine, too. A bit of nutmeg is common in alfredo sauce and I love it here, too.
- Adjust the consistency according to your liking. If it’s too thick, thin with a little broth or more cream.
- Spiralize your own zoodles! My veggie spiralizer is one of my favorite kitchen tools for keto, as it makes ideas like this one quick and easy to make.
- Make ahead and store it. Homemade alfredo sauce can be stored and covered in the fridge for about 3-4 days. This would be a smart sauce to have on hand for meal planning during the week!

Collin made this keto alfredo sauce, and here’s what she thinks:
“This alfredo sauce is SOOOOO yummy and creamy, and I seriously could eat it by the spoonful. I followed this recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. I served mine with zucchini noodles and additional parmesan cheese. When I enjoy meals like this, I wonder why more people aren’t jumping on the keto train. High fat, flavorful, and filling dinners like this always hit the spot!”
We love this keto ravioli, and you’ll never guess what we use in place of pasta!
This was really tasty – husband & kid approved. And easy! Definitely a keeper
