I have a super easy 3 ingredient broccoli alfredo sauce recipe for you today. This is the sauce featured in my recent $0.24 Freezer Pasta Packets post.

Easy 3 Ingredient Broccoli Alfredo Sauce. Gets dinner on the table in minutes and costs about $2 to make! | www.savorandsavvy.com

As you can see – I started with a jarred sauce. I’m all for homemade kitchen staples but when I’m in a rush, I’m just way more likely to reach for an easy base to my recipes like a jarred sauce.

This was one of those times since I was in the midst of a freezer cooking adventure. You can use a homemade alfredo sauce as a base for this recipe if you prefer.

What you’ll need: 
 
– Jar of alfredo sauce (I used a 15oz. Jar)
– A bag of steam-in-bag broccoli
– Optional: onion powder (to taste)
1. Steam bag of broccoli in microwave according to package directions.
2. Pour jar of alfredo sauce into pan on medium heat. Then stir steamed broccoli into the sauce. Let come to a slight boil.

3. Using a potato masher, mash broccoli florets into the sauce until there are no large pieces remaining. If you prefer a very fine texture, you can blend everything together in a blender or food processor. Then, just season to taste with onion powder.

    Question – I have not seen Alfredo Sauce here (Ireland). Is it a plain white sauce? Love the idea of making this and freezing it, I imagine it would be tasty with boiled ham. Thank you

      Alfredo sauce is a creamy white sauce. I believe the base of most alfredo sauce recipes is heavy cream or sometimes cream cheese. You can make your own alfredo sauce with fairly basic ingredients if you have trouble finding it in store.

    That’s probably one of those opportunities where you could use an immersion blender too. I’ve never had one, but people seem to find them useful for soups and sauces.
    This looks delicious! I wonder if my hubby would notice the broccoli …

      Oh definitely – an immersion blender would be perfect for this! If I had one myself I’d find any excuse to use it – I think they’re so cool!

      My husband isn’t a huge fan of broccoli in general but he keeps requesting this sauce so it’s broccoli-hating-man-approved, or at least it is in this house. 🙂
