yummy, easy, alfredo sauce!


I got this off of allrecipes.com(http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quick-and-Easy-Alfredo-Sauce/Detail.aspx) a while ago and I love it. It's super easy and is so good. Grill some chicken, cook some noodles and voila... DINNER! (Oh don't forget the broccoli)


Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

1/2 cup butter

1 (8) oz. package cream cheese

2 teas. garlic powder

2 cups milk

6 oz. grated parmesan cheese (that's almost a cup)

1/8 teas. black pepper

Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.


*** I have made this with the 1/3 less fat cream cheese, kraft parmesan cheese in the tube thing, and skim milk and it was still VERY yummy.
