Home Made Alfredo Sauce

This recipe is so easy and makes a rich thick sauce that has a consistency near that of peanut butter when cool.
Ingredients:
1 Stick Butter
1 Package Cream Cheese
1 cup Milk
1/3-1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
Black Pepper to taste
Italian Seasoning to taste (or preferred herbs and spices)


Directions:
Melt butter in a medium sauce pan over medium to low heat.(You don’t want to scorch your sauce.) Cube Cream Cheese and add to pan when butter is about half way melted. When both butter and cheese are thoroughly melted and smooth (they won’t mix) add the Milk and Parmesan Cheese and stir with a whisk until completely blended. Add Black Pepper, Garlic, and seasoning to taste. If you would prefer a thinner sauce you can add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.

I used to be afraid of making sauces, but I finally got up the nerve to try making Alfredo sauce. I found a recipe very similar to this one and it was just so easy to make that it inspired me to try other new recipes. No one should be afraid to try something new just because they think it might be hard.
