I can't believe how easy this was!! Wanna know the secret ingredient? Cream cheese. Whoever first thought of using this magnificent ingredient in Alfredo Sauce was pure genius. You can't tell it's in there at all! The result is cheesy...rich....smooth...and just perfect. Not to mention it's super creamy and comforting. It's everything you love about the perfect Alfredo dish. I don't usually like the Alfredo Sauce you buy in the jar, but I like what most restaurants have and I absolutely LOVE this!! The next time I make this, I'm adding chopped asparagus, sun dried tomatoes, and mushrooms. If you'd like to make this even richer (you totally don't need to, but some people think the richer the better), you can substitute cream in place of the milk.
