Creamy Sage Sauce

What you need:

1- 15 oz jar of Creamy Alfredo Sauce
1- 15 can of chicken broth
1/2 pint of light cream
1/8 tsp of garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp of ground sage
8 TBSPs salted butter (i know i know it's a whole stick, but it's worth it)


How you do it:

Over medium heat melt butter into the Alfredo sauce
Add about half the can of broth and 1/2 pint of light cream
Once mixed well, Add garlic powder and sage
Turn heat to med high, constantly whisking or stirring bring to a rolling simmer
** Keep the sauce moving you don't want it to burn
Turn heat back to medium and keep stirring until desired thickness is reached
Sauce should coat the back of a spoon when dipped into pot and thicken as the spoon cools, that the best way to know your done

Why it's so good:


I could literally throw shrimp in this sauce and eat it like soup. I love it over pasta especially No Yolks or Egg Noodles. It's great over chicken, fish or veggies. It is creamy with a hint of the chicken broth and sage and it's perfection on just about anything like Sauteed Squash and Zucchini, Shrimp, and Grilled Chicken. I know it is about as Cholesterol-y as you can get but it is so worth the extra calories. Feel free to swap the salted butter for unsalted and the chicken broth for veggie or seafood broth if you are parring it that way.

Enjoy and Mangia Tutto!
