Alfredo Compliments Veggies
I think its easy to think “chicken Alfredo” when thinking of this rich sauce. And its true- Chicken Alfredo is probably the most popular version.
You can keep this meal keto friendly by healthy baking some chicken and adding on some keto friendly Alfredo Sauce.
But chicken isn’t the only way to enjoy sauces!
- Fettuccine, Ravioli, Tortellini – Absolutely NOT diet or low carb in any way, but if you are my kids and can eat ANYTHING, this is how its served up. I personally like the cheese stuffed tortellini’s
- Pizza Topping– No need for red sauce! You can use delicious Alfredo as a basis for pizza. Top with additional cheeses and chicken to make this one. Or if keeping in the ketogentic available diet, you can make cauliflower pizza crust. I haven’t done it before but I hear its yum.
- Broccoli, Cauliflower, Asparagus, Fresh Green Beans – Steam up some fresh veggies and pour on the deliciousness! Veggies are a perfect way to soak up some Alfredo sauce. With whole whipping cream, butter and garlic, you will be pretty pleased.
- Chicken – Of course chicken as we mentioned.

Deb says
You leave out cream cheese (which IS keto) & put in FLOUR??? Sorry this is not keto.,
Trisha says
Deb, this recipe is not a cream cheese alfredo sauce recipe, although you can add that in some flavors. Many people find it an overwhelming sauce flavor because of how thick it is.
Second, as noted, if you are on Keto, use almond flour.
1 tablespoon is only 2 carbs and is considered Keto and Low carb Friendly.
That being said, if you use regular flour, its only 6 g of carbs and many people still use regular flour on dirty keto.
These recipes are meant to be altered to your own dietary restrictions and are fairly easy to adjust.
