Guiltless Alfredo Sauce- Our Best Bites

Guiltless Alfredo Sauce
*Austin is super particular with alfredo sauce. I don't think I made one he really liked until I made this one. It's Good!
2 Cups milk
1/3 cup (3 ounces) cream cheese
2 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup freshly grated parmesean cheese

1. In a blender, blend the milk, cream cheese, flour and salt until smooth and set aside.
2. In a large nonstick saucepan, melt butter on medium-high heat and add the garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 30 second, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from sticking and burning.
3. Add the milk mixture to the pan. Stir constantly for 4 minutes or until it just comes to a simmer. Keep stirring and let it cook for a few minutes more or until the sauce thicken, about 6-7 minutes.
4. Once the sauce has started to thicken, remove from heat. Whisk the cheese into the sauce and immediately cover the pan.
5. Allow the sauce to stand for at least 10 minutes before using. It will continue to thicken upon standing.
6. Serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days. The sauce will become very thick once refrigerated. To use it, reheat the sauce and add a little milk until the desired consistency is reached.
