Alfredo sauce...solved...maybe

Well, I tried a white pasta sauce today and it pleased 3 out of four Johnson's who tried it. One person said it was disgusting. No, it is not who you think, it the elder Johnson male, who refused to eat dinner because he thought my food was disgusting. Whatever...seriously...everyone is a critic. Well, now it is your turn to see if you like this version or do I do back to the drawing board and create another sauce.

Here is what you need:

one brick of cream cheese
one stick of butter
one cup of milk
one canister of Parmesan cheese

That's basically it. I melted the butter first (over medium heat), then I melted the cream cheese into the butter. Next, I incorporated the milk with a whisk (to get rid of any lumps). I season with barely a dash of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. I sprinkled Parmesan cheese in at the end. Here is where you have to adjust things to your taste. Some recipes call for tons of cheese, I chose not to. My reasoning is I am going to put it on top, why waste it to melt in the sauce where I can not taste it? When I served it, I did sprinkle some whole milk mozzarella and provolone cheese on top, but that was just because it was here. Also I served it with linguine, not fettuccine .

Let me know what you think. If you decide, you do not like the flavor, we will have to develop a flour based recipe.
