To use this garlic alfredo sauce, simply heat it gently in a saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it warms evenly and does not scorch. Avoid boiling the sauce, as this can alter its texture. Once heated through, you can pour it directly over cooked pasta, such as fettuccine or linguine. It can also be used as a base for other dishes, like a creamy chicken or seafood bake, or served as a flavorful dipping sauce for breadsticks or vegetables.
