Olive Garden's Asiago Garlic Alfredo Sauce is a creamy, flavorful sauce that is used to dress up pasta dishes. Unlike most Alfredo sauces which are made up of just Parmesan cheese and cream, this recipe uses a blend of Asiago and Romano cheeses to create a more complex flavor profile. The nutmeg adds a subtle earthiness, while the garlic gives it a little bit of bite. The sauce is incredibly rich and indulgent, making it a perfect comfort food during colder weather. However, this recipe is versatile enough to be enjoyed any time of the year.
