Better Than Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce

Molly LaFontaine
My husband and I love Olive Garden which is why I had to make a better than Olive Garden Alfredo sauce at home! It's creamy, garlicky, and has the same crave-able taste you'd order at the restaurant. Not to mention it's simple to whip up in only 15 minutes!
