Notes
Storing Instructions: store in a jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Unfortunately this sauce doesn't freeze very well.
Reheating: place the Alfredo sauce to a saucepan, add a little milk or chicken broth to thin it out, and heat it slowly. Be sure to stir constantly so the cheese has a chance to melt without scorching.
