Easy Alfredo Sauce

• 1/2 cup butter
• 8 ounces cream cheese (best room temp)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups whole milk (cream or half and half)
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper
• lower fat version
• 1/2 cup butter (margarine just doesn't work)
• 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
• 2 cups skim milk
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper

1. Melt butter over low heat (do not burn or sauce will take on nutty flavor).
2. With a whisk, mix in the cream cheese and whisk until completely combined. (At first it will seem like it won't combine, but keep stirring until it does).
3. Add milk and flour and continue to whisk.
4. Once it heats up and is smooth add parmesan cheese and salt and pepper and stir to combine.
5. Let it sit for a few minute to thicken.
6. Lower fat recipe. Follow directions above--it will be slightly thinner, but will thicken upon standing.
