What’s In This Sour Cream Pasta Sauce Recipe?
See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Butter – I like to use unsalted butter to reduce the amount of sodium in my cooking.
- Garlic
- All Purpose Flour: I use all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency of the butter & flour roux, which thickens the sauce.
- Low Sodium Vegetable Stock – I always use low sodium or no-salt-added broth or stock to start, and then I can add salt or other spices later if needed. Check out some fantastic low sodium recipes here!
- Sour Cream – the base of this recipe, this sour cream gives it a silky and creamy texture.
- Parmesan Cheese – gives that extra bit of flavor and richness to this dish. Whether you use a sharp real cheese parmesan, or a plant-based version, adding a little extra into the sauce (and for garnish) makes this dish delish. Some parmesan cheeses are not vegetarian, so make sure to check the labels before consuming.
- Parsley
- Pasta, I used a long fettucine noodle!
How Do You Make Alfredo Pasta with Sour Cream?
- Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the butter over medium low heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned. Add in the flour, and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is well combined. Pour in the vegetable stock, and stir again for 4 to 5 minutes over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Add the sour cream and parmesan cheese to the pan. Stir well.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce, and heat until the pasta is warmed through and the sauce is bubbling.
- Toss with fresh parsley, and add salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately!
