    You can also make the Alfredo by using the whole jar of Alfredo and enough other ingredients to make a full batch and then freeze part of the batch. Makes for a quick complete meal as it is complete when you froze it.

    if you avoid dairy products why are you eating elfredo?

    you can freeze it, you can also add curry to it and make something different, its also great as a pizza sauce for white pizza, lots of ways to use the whole thing. I live alone and agree and I have a hard time making small batches of anything.

    Avoid is the key word and just a personal choice, I do make it a couple times a year when I'm in need of something different. Most dairy products just get tossed as we rarely manage to eat it in a timely manner.

    I make it using chicken stock with Parmesan cheese and cream cheese melted into it and then add about a teaspoon of cornstarch solution as thickener. Add salt to taste and any herbs you like. We use a lot of basil. My young grands love it over noodles so we have it often for lunch the days I keep them.

    I made the sauce using these ingredients and it was delicious. I could have eaten it as a soup before thickening.
