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
- Melt butter over low heat (do not burn or sauce will take on nutty flavor).
- 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).
- Add milk and flour and continue to whisk.
- Once it heats up and is smooth add parmesan cheese and salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Let it sit for a few minute to thicken.
- Lower fat recipe. Follow directions above--it will be slightly thinner, but will thicken upon standing.
