Alfredo sauce is a classic Italian dish that's typically made with butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. While it's delicious, it's also very high in fat and calories. This keto-friendly version uses heavy cream and Parmesan cheese as the base, but it swaps out the butter for olive oil and adds some almond flour to thicken the sauce. The result is a creamy, flavorful sauce that's much lower in fat and calories than the traditional version.
