This Olive Garden Copycat Alfredo sauce requires NO COOKING! Whipped to a mousse-like consistency and made with real parmesan cheese. This version came out just the way I anticipated, after bringing home their buy one take one Alfredo dish.
I started searching for a way to replicate Olive Gardens version of the Buy One Take One Alfredo Sauce; after analyzing that theirs looked like a whipped scoop of mouse that melted to a sauce. I came to realize that if you beat heavy cream long enough you get butter.
This isn’t butter! I beat my cream for only a certain amount of time with a stand mixer, add the remaining ingredients, and came to the consistency of a thick mousse that’s seasoned and ready for use.
This makes a great make-ahead sauce especially for bigger crowds as you can prep the pasta and melt the “Alfredo mousse” right before serving. With only 4 ingredients you can achieve a sauce that didn’t even require a pot!
