What can I add to Fettuccine Alfredo to make it taste better?

Fresh garlic, salt, and black pepper are the most common ways of flavoring Fettuccine Alfredo. However, you can also use red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme or basil, Italian seasoning, white pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Does whipping cream make Alfredo sauce thicker?

Heavy whipping cream will not make Alfredo sauce thicker than heavy cream. They are essentially the same ingredient. They give Alfredo sauce the same thick and creamy consistency.

What can you use instead of flour in Alfredo sauce?

You can use egg yolks, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, or any other shredded cheese instead of flour to thicken the Alfredo sauce.

Why isn't my Alfredo sauce creamy?

You may not have added enough cheese to the Alfredo sauce. Add more cheese and whisk until it melts and the Alfredo sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Place the lid on the Instant Pot. Turn the valve to sealing, then pressure-cook the noodles for 7 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then turn the valve to vent.

Remove the lid from the Instant Pot. Stir until the sauce is combined. Add the shrimp and broccoli and stir to combine. Place the lid back on the pot and allow the shrimp and broccoli to steam for 5 minutes until the shrimp is cooked, and the broccoli is tender.
