Can you freeze Alfredo sauce? Pro tips for preservation

– Freezing alfredo sauce is possible, but it may change in texture and the water and fat may separate.
– The sauce may turn yellowish when frozen, but this is normal and not a sign of spoilage.
– It’s best to freeze the sauce on the same day it’s made to preserve flavor and quality.
– Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a freezer-safe bag or container.

– The sauce should be used within 3 months for best results.
– It’s recommended to divide the sauce into servings for easier thawing and portion control.
