Three-Cheese Alfredo Sauce

This recipe Originally came from Spark People Recipes.
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=637402

Minutes to Prepare: 10
Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1/2 tbsp butter
    8 oz nonfat cream cheese (can use regular or light cream cheese instead)
    2 cloves garlic (or equivalent)
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    2 C nonfat milk
    6 oz mozzarella cheese (3/4 cup)
    2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (or to your taste. Calories are for 2 tbsp)
    salt or garlic salt to season


Directions
-Melt butter in sauce pan on medium
-Add cream cheese and stir till melted and creamy
-add garlic and pepper
-Gradually pour in milk until well blended and creamy
-Stir in mozzarella until melted.
-Mix in Parmesan
add salt as desired

It thickens as it cools. Thin with nonfat milk if needed.

Note: Because nonfat cheeses don't melt quite the same as high-fat cheeses, you may need to pop the sauce in a blender to smooth it out, or use a hand blender.

This recipe is good for an alternative pizza sauce too, and anything else you could think of. We also thought that the sauce came out a bit thick so we added in an extra 1/2 cup milk.
