Recipe Summary Hacked Alfredo Sauce

I wanted to make an Alfredo sauce for a pasta dish, but didn't have a lot on hand (no butter or heavy cream). Here is my hacked version, which is probably a lot less fattening than a classic Alfredo. Play around with it and with what you have on hand. I used this sauce in the Spicy Sausage Alfredo dish I also posted on the site.

Ingredients | Chicken Alfredo Pasta Sauce Recipe

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 ½ cups 2% milk

2 ounces cream cheese

¼ cup Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons half-and-half

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in flour until a light paste forms, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in parsley.

Whisk milk slowly into the saucepan. Bring sauce to a simmer; cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and whisk in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and half-and-half until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

Add any additional ingredients you want in your sauce, such as a dash of nutmeg or red pepper, etc. after the garlic in step 1.

Substitute 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder for the fresh if desired.
