*my changes
since I didnt have enough of the veggies that were listed... I made sure I had 5 cups of veggies but I added broccoli to make up the missing cup I had.

*my comments
I made this for the household of six and still had leftovers. Out of the six of us that did try this four enjoyed it. My little sister said that the best part is the bread stick topping!

A twist to Alfredo

I wanted to try to make my own homemade Alfredo sauce, and I found a basic recipe for cream cheese alfredo. Once you try this, you will never want to go back to the jar ever again! The Lord knows that I will not! I have two recipes here but I am just going to tell you the last one is after making the original a couple of times. 

Original Recipe Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 cups milk
• 6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

My Changes

Trade the grated Parmesan with:

4oz of fresh finely shredded Parmesan Cheese

2oz of fresh shredded Asiago Cheese

Also I cut down the milk to make the sauce thick to 1 1/4 cup

Directions

Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve. 

In the end, this sauce is going to be delicious. You can add it to anything you like Alfredo with...
