Keto-Friendly Low Carb Alfredo Recipe
Alfredo is a great dinner option. It is rich and creamy and when it is paired with a protein it makes a dinner that is perfect for a weeknight or for company. I love how easy this fast keto dinner is made.
I have had alfredo many times over the years, but it wasn’t until I discovered adding a small pinch of nutmeg did the flavors go from fantastic to absolutely delicious.
When you are serving this dish, be sure to serve it over a keto friendly option, like zoodles or other low carb veggies.
