- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Heat until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is hot but not smoking.
- Add 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 cups heavy whipping cream, and 1 teaspoon Stone House Seasoning to the pan. Stir gently to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (small bubbles at the edges), then immediately reduce the heat to low. Stir frequently until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 6–8 minutes.
- Keeping the heat on low and stirring constantly, add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese a little at a time, stirring until each addition melts and the sauce is creamy, thick, and smooth, about 3–5 minutes.

How to Store Alfredo Sauce
If you have any of this rich, creamy sauce left over after a meal, here’s how to store it properly.
Refrigerate
– Add any leftover sauce to an airtight container or jar with an airtight lid and place in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. Make sure to refrigerate any remaining sauce within the first 4 hours.
Not for Freezing
– Unfortunately, due to the fresh heavy cream and dairy content of this sauce, it does not freeze well and tends to separate if frozen.
Reheat
– This does better when reheated slowly on low heat on the stove. It doesn’t do as well when reheated in the microwave as it tends to become more oily and separates. Remember to reheat slowly and stir often to maintain the creamy consistency after reheating.
