Homemade Alfredo Sauce

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese, soften
1 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 stick butter, unsalted
Pinch nutmeg
3 cups milk
1 Tbsp garlic powder
Black pepper to taste
Top with chives, dill or basil

Directions: 


In a heavy, deep saucepan, melt the 1 stick of unsalted butter, slowly, so it does not brown.

While the butter is melting, cut the soften cream cheese into smaller chunks, so it will melt easier. Add to melted butter. Stir often, until melted with the butter. It will not blend smoothly with the butter at this point.

Add the Parmesan cheese, and then slowly whisk in the milk, a cup at a time. Add the garlic powder, and a pinch or two of nutmeg.

Let simmer on the lowest heat, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. It will thicken the longer it sets, but just add more milk, to get it back to what you want. Add fresh ground pepper to taste.

Serve with your favorite pasta and chicken. Top with your favorite herbs, chives, dill, or basil.
