Easy Alfredo-Style Sauce

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
• 2 cups milk (I use 2%)
• 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 a 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. Sauce will thicken rapidly, and thin with milk if cooked too long.
6. Toss with hot pasta to serve. (Makes 2-1/2 cups)
