I made this Alfredo sauce the other day and it is easy, fast and yummy. I hate paying for mediocre sauce at a restaurant and even scarier concoctions from a jar. I forgot to take a picture so you'll just have to make it to see it!
1/2 c. butter ( not margarine!)
1 8 oz. package cream cheese (I've used low fat and it works)cut in chunks
2 garlic cloves minced
2 cups milk( you can use whole, 2%, half-&-half, cream or combination)
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese from green bottle to start or 6 oz. of grated Parm. cheese
1/8 tsp. pepper
pinch of nutmeg
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and then throw in your garlic for a few minutes. Add your cream cheese, stir with a wire whisk until it is smooth. Slowly pour in your milk, a little at a time continue whisking to make it smooth. Stir in your Parmesan cheese if you are using the powdered you may want to add a little more until you like the consistency. Add a pinch of nutmeg. Remove from heat. The sauce does thicken quickly, you can always thin it with a little milk. Toss with some hot pasta and enjoy. I frequently add grilled chicken or shrimp and it's fabulous! Enjoy!
