Stovetop Alfredo Mac & Cheese – ready in 10 minutes! We make this all the time! SO easy and SOOOO delicious! Only 5 ingredients! Pasta tossed in jarred Alfredo sauce, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese and garlic. Perfect weeknight side dish. Great with steak, chicken and pork.
This Stovetop Alfredo Mac & Cheese is my “go-to” side dish. I make it all time, and I can’t believe I’ve never shared the recipe on the blog. Chicken Legs absolutely LOVES this pasta! I love how quick and easy it is to make! I usually serve this with grilled steaks, grilled or baked chicken, and pork chops. It really goes with everything!
This literally only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish! This is best served immediately. I like to boil the pasta when we start the main dish and then throw together the sauce when we are getting ready to fix our plates.

What brand of alfredo sauce do you use? I haven't found one I like, yet.
