This Cajun Alfredo Sauce is a bold, creamy twist on the classic Alfredo. It blends rich Parmesan, smooth heavy cream, garlic, and zesty Cajun seasoning for a perfectly balanced sauce with heat and depth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
