Question

What should I add to store bought alfredo sauce? Anyone have tips?

Answer 1

Chopped fresh herbs are great!  You can also add some minced garlic or onion.  Vegetables are good too, like peas, mushrooms, even broccoli.  You can add the veggies/onion/garlic to the sauce before heating it, but add the fresh herbs at the last minute.  Happy eating! :)

Answer 2

Cooked chicken breast is good, so are mushrooms and/or broccoli. Season with some fresh black pepper & sea salt.

Answer 3

Hi!! You can add chicken breast or tenders cut up and cooked or sauted with onion, garlic, green pepper, and mushrooms then add sauce and cooked pasta.

Answer 4

i like it on pizza instead of red sauce, with a little riccota cheese, sliced tomato and fresh basil

Answer 5

Saute some garlic & mushrooms and add fresh parsley.  White sauces are so easy to make, next time you should try to make your own:

Answer 6

This is one of my favorites:

Grill some boneless skinless chicken breast

cook pasta according to box ( I like penne)

chop some zucchini, squash, red, yellow and green peppers and steam them (I like to use the new microwave steam bags).

Toss everything into a skillet. Add the alfredo sauce and mix it well. Add a little romano cheese for extra cheesy goodness and enjoy.

It sounds like a lot of work (but is really easy), but there should be plenty of leftovers and it heats up well.

Answer 7

add sour cream-fresh herbs-& fresh ground pepper-sometimes i add bacon bits

Answer 8

Maybe some pepper.

Answer 9

Sliced mushrooms ... fresh chopped herbs (basil, rosemary, oregano) ... sliced green onions ... shredded cooked chicken ...  (DON'T add ground beef, like someone else suggested).  Like another answer, I also use a little alfredo sauce (mixed with crushed garlic) as the base for white pizza.  Just a thin layer, with a layer of fresh mozzarella, then fresh spinach leaves, sun roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, and topped with a small container of feta cheese and bake......

Answer 10

noodles and ground beef.

Answer 11

Store bought sauces can be quite bland... I always saute chopped onion and a lot of extra garlic before adding the sauce to the pan. Depending what you eat your alfredo sauce with (pasta, meat or fish) you have a wide variety of choices for further flavor. I like heat so chili peppers go in... You could also add a cup or so of tomato sauce to create a creamy tomato sauce or rose sauce as it is known.  

Answer 12

Just chopped parsley
