          OLIVE GARDEN ALFREDO SAUCE

 Ingredients
    1 pint of Heavy Cream
    1 stick of butter
    2 Tbsp. Cream Cheese
    1/2 - 3/4 C. Parmesan cheese
    1 tsp. Garlic powder

 Directions
    In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream
    cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well.
    Add the Parmesan cheese and Garlic powder. Simmer this for
    15 - 20 minutes on low. You may wish to season with a little 
    salt and pepper. I have done this with half and half, 
    but we prefer the heavy cream. But I wouldn't try it with 
    plain milk. The secret to their sauce is to allow it to simmer 
    as long as you can.  Make sure that you stir often as it will
    burn to the bottom of the pan if you don't.
