Seriously, this is Easy Alfredo Sauce

As are most of my recipes, this is also snagged off of Allrecipes.com. We lurves it in our house, even Miss O. It can be gussied up or down and served with whatever your favorite pasta is. Tonight, we're having it with mushroom raviolis. Yum.

Enjoy!

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder (we put in minced garlic because that's who we are!)
2 cups milk
6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
(and I add some nutmeg for giggles and grins)

DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.
