Homemade Alfredo sauce

Ingredients
-Butter
-Flour
-Parmesean Cheese
-Cream Cheese
-Milk
-Garlic Salt
-Pepper
-Italian Seasoning

In a sauce pan melt 3-4 Tbsp. butter. On low heat, add 1 tsp. flour and stir until smooth. Remove from heat (it may get clumpy if you leave the heat on while you add milk), add 2 Tbsp. grated parmesean cheese, 1/2 cup of cream cheese and milk to desired thickness (start at 1/2 cup and add more if you like it thinner). Season with garlic salt, italian seasoning and pepper to taste (I used 1 tsp Garlic, 1/2 tsp italian seasoning). Turn heat on low and continue stiring until smooth and thoroughly heated. Serve with your favorite pasta. If you want to make it a little more filling, or are looking for a way to get rid of some leftovers, cut up leftover chicken or cooked broccoli and add it to the sauce.

Some ideas for cutting back on calories, use low fat cream cheese (I'm not a fan of Philidelphia brand low fat and don't recommend it for cooking purposes), use low fat or skim milk. Use unsalted butter to cut back on sodium since you'll use garlic salt, or just use garlic powder.
