Fettuccine Alfredo

Sorry no picture this time. My sister in law asked me if I would post my recipe for Fettuccine alfredo. I haven't made this recently so I don't have a picture for you but when I make it I will come back and edit this post with some pics. This is also a really tasty, easy pasta dish. Just like the scampi.

Fettuccine Alfredo
1 lb. fettuccine
1-8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 stick of butter-must be butter
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp. garlic powder or granulated garlic-not garlic salt
1 cup milk-you may need to add more depending on how thick or thin you like your sauce. the sauce also thickens while it cooks so you may need to add more later on.

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Meanwhile place all the rest of the ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Put over medium-low heat and let it all melt together and become smooth. Add more milk if it becomes too thick. You can also add cooked chicken or shrimp to the sauce or you can grill chicken and top the pasta and sauce with it. This is so yummy!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!!
