Garlic Alfredo Sauce

Here's the alfredo sauce I used for my next post, the Chicken Alfredo Roll-Ups.  It's from the blog Mmm...Cafe, and it's so worth the creamy, cheesy indulgence. Give it a try, even if you're not an alfredo fan; this just may change your mind!

Garlic Alfredo Sauce
Makes 2 1/2 cups

1/2 C butter (I might try using a little less next time; it was pretty oily, but still delicious)
1/2 tsp garlic, minced
2 oz cream cheese
2 C heavy cream (or 1/2 and 1/2)
2 tsp garlic powder
salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2/3 C parmesan cheese

1. In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
2. Add cream cheese and whisk until smooth and melted.
3. Whisk in heavy cream.
4. Season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
5. Bring to simmer, whisking frequently until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
6. Stir in cheese and when melted, remove from heat and serve.

This recipe converted me into an alfredo sauce lover! Hope you enjoy it :)
