I Didn't Know (OUTSPOKEN_DIVA's Favorite Recipes)

There is no video to this post. Started typing and I forgot. LoL

So, I had to move out of the fetal position and do the grocery shopping on the day before Valentine's Day. I turned onto the pasta & soup aisle and the truth was right before my eyes. There wasn't a jar of Alfredo sauce on the shelves. Not One Jar! I got my pasta shells, but I made a note to talk about this.

That was funny but odd. Why is this so common that it can be a meme? I never cooked for a date or S.O. for Valentine's Day, so I had no clue. I got them dudes cologne, books, & candy cards. But I never cooked. Plus, I'm not a fan of Parmesan cheese so I rarely make anything using basic Alfredo. But I do have a recipe to help whoever needs it. Because clearly this is a staple dish for the relationship holiday.

Easy Alfredo-Style Sauce

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
• 2 cups milk
• 6 oz Italian Cheese blend (I use Kraft)
• ⅛ tsp ground black pepper

Directions

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

Alright, learn & practice this recipe before next Valentine's Day. I don't want you to make a meme true. Y'all, not one jar was on the shelf.
