Believe it or not, I've never tried to make my own Alfredo Sauce. My SIL works for Olive Garden, so we often go there and dip our bread sticks in Alfredo...mmm...but I just can't eat an entire dish of Alfredo. It might just have something to do with being Lactose Intolerant. But since I'm not really eating pasta right now, I decided to try this out on my kids. And maybe I had just a little just to try....
Let me tell you. My daughter hardly ever eats dinner, but she munched down on this like she had never eaten in her life. You know the look of babies when they finally get that bottle of milk....that was Mia. Not only was it easy, cheap and quick, it really was tasty.
Now, when I added the cream cheese I thought it was going to be a disaster. Besides splashing butter all over my arm and the counter (I really am an intelligent person, even though I make some stupid mistakes), it looked liked it was curdling. But as soon as I added the milk, it came together nice and smoothly. I used the canned Parmesan cheese, but I'm sure it would be great with grated cheese. I also didn't measure any ingredients which probably doesn't come as a shock to you all, and I added until it was how I liked it.
I'll definitely be making it again. It's so hard to get something that both my kids love, and served with baked salmon I'd say it's close to perfection!
I love this Alfredo sauce! It's easy and delicious! My kids (and big kid Matt) love it too! :)
