Alfredo Sauce

I absolutely love Pasta and Jeff is a huge fan of Chicken Alfredo. I have one problem, I don't like the Alfredo sauce you can buy in the jar? I've never even made my own Spaghetti Sauce but heard if you ever do, you'll never go back to the store bought! Well, I believe it! I went to a new Italian Restaurant in town and discovered their Alfredo Sauce. It was so thick & creamy and I made a meal out of it and the bread! To die for! My belly is growling now just thinking about it!

I went home and played around with a few recipes and it's a HIT! I will never buy another sauce after this...anyone with a good Spaghetti sauce recipe needs to post it for me!

1 stick of butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
2 t. garlic powder
2 cups milk
1 pkg. (6 ounce) Grated Parmesan cheese (walmart carried this in their cheese section already grated)
1 t. pepper

Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Cut cream cheese in squares and add to pan with garlic powder. Stir with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, followed by Parmesan Cheese and Pepper. Continue to simmer over low heat until thickened. You can serve over pasta of your choice or just dip it (like me) with your favorite garlic bread!

I've made my own alfredo sauce before, but it has been a long time. I can't wait to try this.
