Alfredo Sauce

Alfredo Sauce

This is a wonderful Alfredo sauce.  It is delicious with all kinds of noodles, so pick your favorite.

2 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons garlic powder

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 teaspoons salt

4 cups milk

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 cups grated parmesan cheese

In a large saucepan, melt butter and add the garlic powder.  

Dissolve the cornstarch with the milk.  Add the milk to the saucepan.  Add the salt and cream cheese as well.  Stir it well.  The cream cheese will need to be stirred extremely well in order to not be lumpy.  (You could blend it with the milk in a blender before adding it to the saucepan, if desired.)

Cook the mixture in the saucepan until it starts to thicken.  This can take 7-10 minutes.  Once the sauce has started to thicken, add the parmesan.  Stir it well.  Turn off the heat and let it sit for a little before using.  

Serve over your favorite pasta.  You can add chicken, broccoli, or whatever else you desire to your pasta and Alfredo sauce.  

My kids also love the leftovers in their lunches.
