My son has an unnatural love of jarred alfredo sauce. I think it tastes funny. And, also, it is expensive... he can easily eat a jar by himself in a few days if given free reign.
So when Costco stopped carrying it recently (Sidenote: Did you know if the label at Costco has an * on it the item is seasonal and when the price ends in a 7 it is going out-of-stock. Yes, My name is Homestead and I am addicted to Costco.) I tried my hand at homemade.
I used this recipe and it was easy and..... NOT A HIT. I found it a bit thick and a bit bland. The kids cried. I'd site the source but I don't know where it came from.
1/2 c butter
1 8oz pkg cream cheese, chunked
1 c half and half
1/3 c parmesan
1 TBS garlic powder (optional)
Melt butter. Add cream cheese. Melt and stir. Add the rest and stir. Serve over pasta.
I think it was the cream cheese.....So next time I am trying this.....
1/2 c butter
2 1/2 c half and half
1 1/2 c parmesan
pepper and salt
Cook over medium heat 3-4 minutes.
Heart attack on a platter.
