Notes

This alfredo sauce recipe with milk is not only easy to make but also easy on your health, compared to the full cream version. Not only this, it is so full of flavor and richness that you won’t even know there is no cream of any sort in it! But to tick all of the boxes above, it is essential for you to make sure that you use fresh produce. Such as fresh, full-cream milk and freshly grated parmesan. Why is this necessary?
Well, since we are not using any cream, it is essential that you use fresh full-cream milk, which will help build that rich, creamy consistency of the sauce.
No grated parmesan cans for this recipe. Not at all. Because nothing beats the raw flavor of that freshly grated parmesan. That raw, umami flavor is what’s going to give the sauce its signature flavor.

How Do You Make The Sauce in Alfredo Sauce Recipe With Milk Thicker?

The right consistency of the sauce unfolds after it has been taken off the stove. But till then, if the sauce is too runny, you can’t really do anything, but add some thickening agents, such as cream.

But since this recipe calls for no cream, here’s what two other things you can add to get your desired consistency of sauce:

Cream cheese – a dollop or two of cream cheese, will not only thicken the consistency of the sauce but also give your sauce a smooth sheen and an extra burst of flavor.

Mayonnaise – a scoop of mayo, can also work the magic and thicken that sauce right up, leaving behind a more fluffy and flavorful sauce.

However, if your sauce hasn’t thickened to the right consistency, while it’s still over the heat, here’s what you can do in that case:

While whisking the flour and milk together and waiting for it to turn thick. And for some reason the sauce doesn’t thicken, add more flour then and there.

But make sure to add little by little, so it doesn’t over thicken.

Also, in case the sauce looks runny, but not too runny, I would suggest to wait it out. Let the sauce cool down a little, and it will thicken up on its own. In case it doesn’t, follow instruction A.
