My 11 yr. old prepared this for bow-tie pasta for our guests! Everyone loved it! Only used 1/2 of the garlic suggestion. Also, used optional capers and lemon juice on the side.

I will try this for sure. Once every few months I get the jar stuff. Not any more. I already like this recipe. cream cheese...num

Very easy & delicious!!! Best Alfredo sauce I have ever had. My very picky 20 month old son loved it too!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!

Amazing and easy! 5 stars way up!

A little too cream cheese tasting for my liking but overall a good sauce and easy to fix

This recipe saved me when I wanted a creamy sauce for my garden pasta. I put fresh minced garlic in with the butter and also used 2% milk because I was all I had on hand. It was delicious! Dont tell my husband it had cream cheese, though. He claims he hates it but had seconds to this pasta dish. Thanks!!

I was a little skeptical about using cream cheese for an Alfredo sauce recipe. I sat there staring at this for awhile and went to go try it. I even stared at my cream cheese for some time thinking really? In Alfredo sauce? I went for it and made it. Oh wow this is truly delicious. I would recommend to lighten up on the garlic going with a 1/2 tablespoon instead of 1 tablespoon. Start with the lower measurement and if you want more add more! Garlic powder is more stronger I think than fresh minced garlic. I love garlic, but it kind of washes out the over all flavor of Alfredo sauce using the 1 tablespoon measurement, since Parmesan cheese has a garlic flavor in it. One thing I love about this recipe is it is versatile and you can adjust it as you cook it to your desired liking!
It was soo yummy and my skepticism with the cream cheese was proven wrong. It definitely has the restaurant quality taste to it.
For those of you who asked, yes you can use milk instead of half and half. I used milk. It doesn't matter which milk you use, you may have to adjust your Parmesan cheese and cream cheese amount to a little more added to thicken up the sauce.
I also find using freshly shredded Parmesan cheese works a lot better than grated. It makes it for easier melting and blending the sauce together better.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It is definitely getting added to my recipe book.

Great! Added about 1/4 more Parmesan cheese (just for our tastes), but really good overall!

This recipe was good and perfect for a weeknight dinner. Not the best homemade alfredo sauce I have ever had, but I would make it again. I too had some problems with lumps, and I tried using a whisk, but the lumps still remained. I think I went wrong by not letting the cream cheese melt enough before adding the remaining ingredients.

This is the best recipe for alfredo sauce that I have ever tried. Good job, Michael!!!

I am in love with this recipe! It's a great find and it will be a staple in my kitchen forever. I make it in my rice cooker on high and let it thicken while I make my chicken, broccoli, and pasta.

Variation: I substitute one 10-oz package of Philly Cooking Creme (Savory Garlic) in lieu of the plain cream cheese.

Just made it used roasted garlic instead. It was good.
