I know, I know...I'm posting twice in 1 day! And they're both recipes, but I like both of them so much, that I want you to use them too :)
Last night was Italian night, and I was sick of red sauce. I don't ever buy Alfredo sauce, because typically we just eat red. Jason isn't a huge white sauce person, so I never think to buy it anyway. Well, a while back he found this Alfredo sauce recipe and I love it. Quick and easy is definitely right!
Alfredo Sauce
1/2 c butter
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
2 tsp garlic powder
2 c milk
6 oz Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp black pepper
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.
We normally use Penne pasta with this sauce, but we had none, so I used Rigatoni. I also added diced chicken, to get our meat in there. The kids loved it, as usual! And I also added my favorite garlic bread (as mentioned in the previous post) to the meal, as well as a salad. It was yummy!
