How to Spruce up Jarred Alfredo Sauce
You know what’s missing from that jar? Garlic. And not the powder stuff. We’re talking fresh cloves, minced so fine they almost disappear.
Sauté two or three cloves in a little olive oil before you add the sauce. The aroma alone will make you feel like you’re in a trattoria in Rome—even if you’re in pajamas. (No shame.)
Spice It Up (Literally)
Jarred Alfredo is like a beige wall—it needs a splash of color. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like heat. Or crack in some fresh black pepper like you mean it.
For a weird but wonderful twist, add a dusting of nutmeg. I know, I know—it sounds like a baking spice, but it makes the sauce taste cozy. Trust me on this one.
