Just looking at this photo you can tell how creamy and divine this Alfredo Sauce is. From the third step of the recipe, melting the cream cheese, my mouth was watering. I knew from the beginning that this was going to be amazing. This proved right at the very first bite! Both my hubbs and I loved this sauce, it is my new go-to alfredo sauce for sure!

This sounds amazing. I'll try it for sure!
Made this sauce tonight, it was REALLY good! It tasted a lot like Olive Garden's! A bit on the garlicky side though with the fresh garlic AND 2t garlic powder... next time I may use just 1t. But that's just me! Overall, divine!
This was soon good, but I can't seem to get it to thicken up, have tried it twice, wondering if you have any tips of how thick it should be and/or how to get it to thicken up? It was still really good tho!
