Alfredo sauce vs. White pizza sauce
Undoubtedly you noticed that the ingredients are very similar to Alfredo sauce. You are correct! Authentic Alfredo is a sauce made from butter and parmesan tossed with starchy pasta water. This pizza sauce is basically a garlicky cream laced Alfredo sauce. It’s perfect for pasta and other dishes screaming for a delicious cheese sauce like:
Venison Stuffed Shells
Chicken Stuffed Manicotti
Shrimp Alfredo
How to make white pizza sauce
To prepare, start by heating the butter and garlic in a small skillet or saucepan. Sauté the garlic for 2-3 minutes over low heat. Season with red pepper flakes before whisking in the cream.
Turn the heat to medium to all the cream to boil slightly. Add the parmesan and black pepper turning the heat back to low. Stir consistently until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt to taste if necessary.
More serving suggestions
Serve this pizza sauce over:
- Pasta
- Potatoes
- Steamed vegetables
- Chicken
- Seafood
Storage
Store leftover white pizza sauce in the fridge for 2-3 days in an airtight jar with a lid. The sauce can also be frozen in a freezer-safe bag but I personally don’t recommend it. The cream will separate and it will require more cream to thicken it again. You can just as easily make a fresh batch.

Awesome! Enjoy.
the sauce gets thick after refrigerating, do you just add more cream to thin it?
No water needed. Heat it in the microwave or on the stovetop over low flame. Stir it to bring it together.
