🍴 What to Serve with This Creamy Casserole

This is a complete meal in one, but you can serve it with some tasty Italian Breadsticks or a fresh, crisp green Caesar salad with homemade Caesar Dressing.

💡 Tips

  • Drain the spinach well. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible to avoid a watery casserole.
  • Don’t skip the mascarpone in the sauce. It makes it extra creamy and balances the sharpness of the parmesan.
  • Bake uncovered. This helps the top layer of mozzarella cheese get that golden, bubbly finish.
  • Let it rest before serving. The casserole will thicken up slightly as it cools, making it easier to scoop.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

  • Add cauliflower: Chopped cauliflower makes a great filler if you want more veggies.
  • Swap spinach for broccoli: Broccoli adds a classic twist that works beautifully.
  • Use rotisserie chicken: A huge time-saver and just as tasty.
  • Try different cheeses: A little gouda or provolone adds an interesting depth of flavor.
  • Extra garlicky: Roast a few cloves and mash them into the sauce.
  • Crispy bacon: Top it with crispy bacon…because everything is better with bacon.
  • Crunchy topping. Crushed pork rinds can mimic breadcrumbs for a crispy top layer.

Is Alfredo Keto?

It certainly is. Well, homemade alfredo sauce is. It is mostly cream and cheese. That is what I consider the PERFECT Keto sauce.

Can I Freeze Chicken Alfredo Casserole?

Absolutely! This casserole freezes very well. It should be noted than sometimes the dairy in casseroles will try to separate some. If that happens to you with this keto chicken casserole, give it a gentle stir to reincorporate the sauce and it will be just fine.

In order to keep the casserole as fresh as possible while in the freezer, you will want to freeze it in an airtight container. If there is a lot of space between the top of the casserole and the lid, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the casserole.

It will keep for up to several months.

What Are Some Other Ways to Serve Keto Alfredo Sauce?

Once you taste the flavors of this low carb sauce, you may want to try some of these delicious ways to serve it.

I love it over grilled shrimp and served along with Palmini Noodles or zucchini Alfredo sauce makes a great dipping sauce for these Keto Italian Breadsticks. Drizzle low carb alfredo sauce over Keto Fried Chicken Tenders for a little bit of decadence.

The possibilities for this sauce is truly endless. You can serve it over any grilled veggies, like eggplant, zucchini or asparagus and it will take low carb veggies to a whole new level.

My Casserole Came Out Watery! What Went Wrong?

Make sure to drain the spinach well and avoid adding extra liquid beyond what the recipe calls for.

    Everything about this recipe is freakin’ amazing!! I made it with the directions and my husband neary peed himself. This is definitely going into the rotation. Thanks so much!

    1. You’ll just let it thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave until warm.

  2. 5 stars
    This was an easy and very tasty keto meal that will definitely find a spot in the recurring menu plan. Healthy too with lots of vegetables and even a fungi!

    1. That’s awesome to hear. It’s one of my go-to recipes for when I have company over for dinner. It’s always a huge hit.

    1. I suppose you could just serve the casserole over a bed of zoodles. I am not sure I would add them into the casserole though.

  3. 5 stars
    This was so good. I don’t like mushrooms so I added broccoli for added veggies. I also topped it with a “breadcrumb” topping. I had a failed Keto Naan Bread that I crumbled and used 2 cups with 4 T of melted butter. It reminded me of a Ritz cracker topping. So good.
