Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2/3 8 oz. package cream cheese
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 servings your choice of pasta (we like fettuccine noodles)
  • 1 cup frozen green peas thawed ( optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare 4 servings of your favorite pasta according to the package directions while preparing this sauce!
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter and fry the garlic in it until browned. Add in the cream cheese and melt.
  3. The cream cheese will be lumpy, but whisk in the milk slowly and cook until smooth.
  4. Add in the Parmesan cheese and cook until smooth again. IF you want to add a cup of peas - this is the time to do so! Cook until the peas are warmed through.
  5. Add in the 4 servings of pasta - right into the pan! - and swirl around to cover with the Alfredo sauce.
  6. Divide onto 4 plates and serve!

Notes

  • Use real Parmesan cheese, not the powdered!
