Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

Here's how to make it: 

1. Melt the butter in a saucepot over medium heat. Add the cream cheese and garlic powder and cook, whisking, until smooth. (Not a fan of garlic powder? Use fresh minced garlic instead.)
2. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. (You can add more milk if you want a thinner alfredo sauce. If you want a thicker alfredo sauce, you could use heavy cream instead of milk.)
