Quick & Easy Alfredo Sauce Recipes for Bowtie Pasta

Transform your weeknight dinners with these three unique Alfredo variations—each using your provided ingredients, ready in under 30 minutes!

1. Classic Creamy Alfredo

Flavor Profile: Rich, traditional, velvety
 Serving Size: Serves 3-4
 Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp flour

  • 1 cup 2% reduced fat milk

  • 1 cup evaporated milk

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tbsp whipped cream cheese spread

  • 1 tbsp Alfredo seasoning blend (or to taste)

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 12oz cooked bowtie pasta (reserve 1/4 cup pasta water)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.

  2. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute until lightly foamy.

  3. Slowly pour in both milks, whisking to avoid lumps; bring just to a simmer.

  4. Reduce heat to low, add Parmesan and cream cheese. Whisk until melted and smooth.

  5. Season with Alfredo blend, salt, and pepper.

  6. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water for a silkier texture.

  7. Toss with cooked bowtie pasta and serve immediately.

Tip: Whipped cream cheese ensures extra creaminess and prevents separation.

Storage: Cool leftovers and refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of milk.


2. Mushroom Lover’s Alfredo

Flavor Profile: Earthy, umami-rich, savory
 Serving Size: Serves 3-4
 Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 cups fresh baby bella cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp flour

  • 1 cup evaporated milk

  • 1/2 cup 2% reduced fat milk

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tbsp Alfredo seasoning blend

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 12oz cooked bowtie pasta (reserve 1/4 cup pasta water)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add mushrooms; sauté 5-6 minutes until browned and moisture evaporates.

  2. Stir in garlic, cook 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms, stir for 1 minute.

  3. Gradually whisk in evaporated and 2% milk; stir constantly as the sauce thickens (3-5 minutes).

  4. Lower heat; blend in Parmesan, Alfredo spices, salt, and pepper.

  5. Thin sauce as needed with pasta water.

  6. Toss bowtie pasta into the skillet until well coated. Serve hot.

Tip: Cook mushrooms until golden for maximum flavor. For extra depth, splash in a little pasta water to deglaze pan while cooking!

Storage: Sauce with mushrooms reheats well. Refrigerate up to 3 days.


3. Easy Cheesy Cream Cheese Alfredo

Flavor Profile: Ultra-creamy, tangy, mild
 Serving Size: Serves 3-4
 Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp whipped cream cheese spread

  • 1 cup 2% reduced fat milk

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp Alfredo seasoning blend

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 12oz cooked bowtie pasta (reserve 1/4 cup pasta water)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine milk and butter; heat over medium until butter is melted and mixture steams (do not boil).

  2. Whisk in whipped cream cheese until it dissolves completely.

  3. Add Parmesan and Alfredo seasoning. Continue whisking until thickened and very smooth (4-5 minutes).

  4. Adjust seasoning; thin with pasta water if desired.

  5. Toss with bowtie pasta and serve.

Tip: Whipped cream cheese melts best if brought to room temperature. For a tangier twist, add a dash of lemon zest.

Make-Ahead: This sauce stays smooth when reheated! Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

General Tips for the Perfect Alfredo

  • Low heat: Prevents curdling and keeps the sauce silky.

  • Pasta water: Adds starch, which improves the sauce’s texture and helps it cling to pasta.

  • Reheat gently: Use low heat and a splash of milk or water to maintain smoothness.

Enjoy your bowtie pasta with these three easy, delicious Alfredo variations—each with its own unique twist!
