That's the kind of thing everyone likes to hear, right? We thought so.

- 1 pinch garlic powder
What to Do
- In a medium saucepan or double boiler, combine all ingredients until everything is melted and the sauce is velvety smooth, about 20 minutes.

I do something similar, but different with my low fat alfredo sauce. I use 1 stick of butter (unsalted) or buttery spread. 1 cup half'n half & heat slowly. Add 2 -3 cloves minced fresh garlic (or garlic powder) & parsley. Then I turn heat down & slowly wisk in 3/4 cup parmesan cheese (lowfat). I use different pastas, add small pieces of chicken breast, broccoli pieces, sometimes diced up red bell peppers, grape tomatoes cut in half. Everyone loves it!
