Homemade Alfredo Sauce

I usually like to use the "lite" version of Alfredo that comes in the jar. But sometimes you wanna splurge and eat the homemade good stuff. It's very easy too! 

2 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 pint heavy cream 

4 oz cream cheese

1 cup Parmesan cheese

Salt & Pepper to taste 

Dash of chili powder (optional)

Dash of crushed red pepper flakes (optional) 

In sauce pan, melt butter and sauté garlic for about 2 minutes

Add cream and cream cheese, bring to a simmer for about 6 minutes 

Add Parmesan cheese

Remove from heat and sprinkle with seasonings

This sauce goes well with any pasta dish. Chicken or shrimp. 

I ate it with shells and steamed broccoli tonight. It's was delicious!!!
