Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• 2 cups milk
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with a wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out any lumps. Stir in Parmesan cheese and pepper.

Step 2

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.
