Are you tired of buying the same jar of Alfredo sauce every week? If you’re an Alfredo sauce lover, then this easy recipe is for you. It can save you money and time if you make it in bulk and freeze it. I freeze leftovers in a quart size freezer bag and reheat using a double boiler system to keep the cheese from sticking.
Here’s the thawed freezer items for this dinner meal:
Frozen Cooked Italian Vegetables (reheats easily in microwave)
Frozen Cooked Thin Spaghetti (reheats easily in microwave with a tablespoon or two of water)
Frozen Alfredo Sauce (reheats using double boiler method on stove), see a tutorial how to freeze liquids here.
