Alfredo Sauce from Scratch


Not the healthiest meal, but if you’ve just returned from the gym and are eager to reward yourself with a heart-stopping Italian favorite, use this delicious Alfredo Sauce!

Ingredients (for 2 servings)

¼ cup butter
4 oz. cream cheese
1 cup milk
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
pepper to taste
(optional: dash of cayenne pepper)

Boil your favorite pasta in salted water. When it's getting close to done, make the alfredo sauce:

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cream cheese and melt that as well. Stir in the milk, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and pepper.

Keep it on low heat until the pasta is done. (The sauce will thicken up quickly when you remove it from heat.)  After you've drained your pasta, mix the sauce in with it.  If you'd like, sprinkle a little more parmesan cheese and pepper over the top.  I think cayenne pepper also complements the creamy flavor very nicely.
