Evidence-Based
These jarred Alfredo sauces deliver rich, creamy flavor shoppers say rivals restaurant versions.

Alfredo sauce is a beautifully rich, creamy, cheesy sauce that’s more than just a pasta sauce—it makes a nice alternative to marinara for a savory white pizza, and can be used in casseroles, dips, vegetable dishes, and more. Store-bought options are becoming increasingly impressive, as brands compete with each other to create sauces that taste like they’re made from scratch (or pretty close). Here are five jarred Alfredo options shoppers say taste homemade or restaurant-quality.

My wife & I agree it is the best tasting alfredo sauce we have ever had from a jar. In fact it’s so good I doubt if we will ever make homemade alfredo sauce again. Yea it’s that good!” one Amazon shopper raved.

Yo Mama’s Alfredo Sauce

Sam’s Club

Yo Mama’s Alfredo Sauce is made with real butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese. “Wow! This is the tastiest Alfredo sauce I’ve ever had out of a jar or in a restaurant,” one Sam’s Club shopper said. “It’s tangy, which wasn’t what I expected and makes traditional Alfredo seem blah in comparison. Pairs well with seafood and ham.”

Bertolli Classic Alfredo Sauce

Walmart

Bertolli Classic Alfredo Sauce is made with fresh cream, real butter, and aged Parmesan cheese. “This Bertolli Alfredo sauce tastes almost homemade! The jars are small 🙁and serve two people per jar. The price is also a little high, but: The sauce is versatile, as I have also used it for macaroni and cheese when I’ve been in a hurry. It’s also great for pouring over steamed broccoli or cauliflower!” one Walmart shopper said.
