Quick Alfredo Sauce

By: distasi 
"This alfredo sauce is lower in fat than most, as it is made with half and half. This is delicious over pasta and is easy to make. You can also make it the day before and refrigerate it until ready to use. Serve with a Caesar salad, and you have a delicious meal done in less than an hour."

Original Recipe Yield 2 cups
 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the flour and garlic salt into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth.
