Alfredo Sauce

My friend Lisa loves Fettucini Alfredo, but listen to this............she gets her sauce FROM A JAR!!!! *SHOCK..............HORROR.............DISMAY* I know right???? How positively sinful. So, this is for you Lisa. LOL A homemade SIMPLE recipe for the best alfredo sauce (albeit NOT healthy) you have ever had. YUM!

This is a great multi-purpose sauce. Use it over pasta (YUM!), steamed vegetables, grilled chicken or shrmip, etc. I could eat this sauce all by itself with a spoon. LOL This sauce is so yummy, it will stick to your ribs (and possibly your thighs too).
