    Alfredo Macaroni and Cheese is one of the best mac and cheese recipes you'll ever have. It's a cheese and wine lover's dream come true!

    Alfredo Macaroni and Cheese with White Wine

    What do you do when you have leftover homemade Alfredo sauce in the fridge? If you're anything like me, you make Alfredo Macaroni and Cheese with White Wine. Trust me. It was a deliciously good call!

    Just last week I shared with you my recipe for Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Pizza with homemade Alfredo Sauce (the recipe is at the bottom of the post). I mentioned that with that recipe you'll end up with about 1 cup of leftover Alfredo sauce that you'll want to save for another use, which is how I came up with this recipe for Alfredo Macaroni and Cheese with White Wine.

    See? I don't just talk the talk...I also walk the walk and want to help you make delicious dishes with the use of ingredients you may already have on hand in your fridge...wine included. Yes, I'm helpful like that 🙂

    As I was stirring the Alfredo sauce and cheese into the cooked macaroni, a quick taste made me realize that it needed a little something to cut through all the rich cheese. The remedy to that was adding a little white wine, which was the ticket to bring this Alfredo Macaroni and Cheese from good to epic! I honestly thought my son, Greg would balk at the wine addition (since he's the true mac and cheese lover of our family), but he never even mentioned that he noticed it, and he returned time and again to fill his plate. If he did, it certainly got his approval. If he didn't, it still got his full approval.

      Now this is a great idea for mac and cheese! Plus alfredo sauce is much easier to make than bechamel. No worries about it breaking!
