Alfredo Sauce

2 c. whipping cream (not whipped)
4 oz. cream cheese
1 cube butter
1 tsp. smoked paprika (or regular)
1 tsp. garlic powder (can use garlic pepper)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Melt cream cheese and butter.  Slowly add a small amount of whipping cream and mix well.  Then add remaining whipping cream.  Bring to boil (simmer) and add seasonings (to taste).  Let simmer 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add Parmesan cheese.  Serve with pasta, chicken, etc.

The sauce looks kind of strange until you get the whipping cream into it.  Then it smooths out rich and creamy!  I always double the recipe :)

I have tried a few alfredo sauce recipes, but they never tasted as good as Olive Garden's.  This is not an Olive Garden copycat recipe, but we do all love this sauce.  I got the recipe from Michelle at my work.
