Spinach Alfredo Sauce (Better than Olive Garden)

This spinach Alfredo sauce recipe tastes better than the version you get at Olive Garden! Top with grilled chicken on fettuccine pasta for a complete meal or use as a dip for bread sticks. When I make this dish, everyone raves over it. Add more spinach if you're a spinach lover or leave it out if you're not a fan. I like adding lots of garlic.
