I think using Greek yogurt or milk as a base for the Alfredo sauce can be a great way to keep it creamy without heavy cream! 🍝🍼 Though a touch of Parmesan cheese can really boost the flavor!
 
Totally stoked you’re gonna try it out! πŸ€—πŸ’ͺ Using milk really makes it lighter and still super creamy. Thanks for the shoutout! πŸ§€πŸ

Totally! Greek yogurt or milk makes for a creamy Alfredo without the heavy cream, and a sprinkle of Parmesan really kicks up the flavor! πŸ§€πŸ‘Œ Thanks for the suggestion! πŸ˜‹πŸ
