FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

1 stick of butter

1 (3-oz) package cream cheese

1 pint heavy cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt & pepper

1 lb uncooked fettuccine 

Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Mix in cream cheese. Stir in the cream and garlic powder.  Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat and simmer, stirring often, while you cook the pasta. If the sauce needs additional thinking (for example if you are serving it as a dipping sauce) you may sprinkle in flour, 1 teaspoon at a time.  Cook and stir for desired consistency. 

Cook the fettuccine according to package directions, drain. 

Stir the Parmesan cheese into the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Toss the sauce and the pasta in a large bowl. Serve immediately.
