There is no such thing as Alfredo sauce. It just happens in the pasta
bowl as all parts come together. Why not just make it fresh. It wouldn't
take anymore time. And freezing and thawing cause deterioration. If you
are worried about the cream keeping, cream keeps for ages in the fridge,
way past printed dates.
