Homemade Alfredo Sauce

If you’ve never made homemade Alfredo sauce, give this a try. It is so much richer and creamier than the jarred variety! Cream cheese isn’t a traditional ingredient but helps thicken the sauce. This sauce also makes a fabulous dip for breadsticks or a non-traditional pizza sauce.
