Alfredo sauce is best stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Properly stored, it will typically last for 3 to 4 days. To prevent a skin from forming on top, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce before sealing the container. For longer storage, Alfredo sauce can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating gently on the stovetop, stirring frequently to maintain a smooth consistency.
