Fast Alfredo Sauce

A quick favorite dish.  You can dress it up if you have the time. Steamed Broccoli and Grilled Chicken are our favorites to mix in.  Use whatever pasta you have in the pantry.  Although, fettuccine is our favorite.


First start with a sauce pan with Med-Low Heat
Melt a stick of salted butter (stir it around as it melts with a wisk)
Add about 1 1/4 Cups whole milk ( you can use skim texture may not be quite as nice)
Sprinkle of garlic powder, and salt
    *  START  bringing your pasta water to boil.  Don't forget to add salt and a bit of cooking oil.
 Add 1 8oz package of cream cheese cut up.
Add about 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Stir often
When all ingredients are incorporated turn heat to low.
Slowly add small amounts of pasta water to the Alfredo sauce if it gets too thick.THIS IS THE SECRET
SAUCE SHOULD BE SMOOTH AND WHITE

Drain pasta, combine with sauce.  Add other sides if desired.  ie: Steamed  Broccoli, grilled chicken, shrimp,
Enjoy with crusty bread.
