FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to keep it creamy.

Can I use jarred Alfredo sauce?
Absolutely! If you’re short on time, use 1 ½ cups of jarred Alfredo sauce instead of making it from scratch.

What’s the best pasta to use?
Short pasta like penne, rotini, or rigatoni holds the sauce best, but fettuccine works too!
