This recipe was given to me by a co-worker several years ago, when my husband and I had just been married.
It’s an easy twist to Alfredo sauce and makes it much healthier!!
Ingredients:
- 1 16oz Box of Penne Pasta
- 1 Block of Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
- 1 Tbsp of Butter
- 1/4 Cup of Milk
- 1 Tsp Garlic Salt
Directions:
Boil pasta according to package in a large stock pot.
Once drained, turn burner to low and then put the cream cheese, butter, and milk in the pot. Start stirring this up until it is a smooth sauce.
Mix the noodles in with the white sauce and then add the garlic salt. I usually use 1 Tsp; however, I would add as much as you prefer.
This is a perfect base pasta and white sauce that you can add a wide range of foods to. I typically use crumbled bacon bits, which I did the night that I made this. This is also good with chicken and frozen peas mixed in to make it a complete meal.
Remember to use coupons to make this an affordable meal.

That sounds yummy! My youngest loves Alfredo, I’ll be adding this to our menu plan next month! Thanks for sharing!

I love this one, I like just about anything with garlic!
I make a white pizza using a jar of Alfredo sauce, precooked chicken, and a variety of white cheeses–I think this sauce would be perfect for that!
That sounds so good!!! Do you use a homemade pizza crust or a store bought crust? I’m going to have to try that!
