Answer 3

Alfredo Sauce

1/4 cup butter
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup heavy cream
Garlic (I use 2-3 cloves, you don't want too much!)
1/2 to 3/4 cup Mushrooms

Sauté the mushrooms and garlic in some of the butter. Melt the rest of the butter, and remove from heat. Stir in the cheese and the cream, as well as the mushrooms and garlic if appropriate, and bring it just to a boil over low heat, stirring often. Toss with warm noodles and serve.

Answer 6

Something I usually make with pasta tossed with steamed veggies.

1/4 cup butter or margarine
3 tablespoons flour
8 ounces cream cheese
2 cups milk (for a thinner sauce, add up to one extra cup)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Slowly stir in flour, one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition.
Add cream cheese in pieces and stir in milk slowly. Stir til melted.
Stir in garlic and salt and sprinkle in parmesan cheese, while stirring to combine.
Stir until thickened over low heat. remove and serve over pasta.

Answer 7

I'm sure you have a recipe already so I'll just put in my two cents. I would think, that it has a lot to do with the amount and quality of the cheese you use. So try more cheese from a high quality delicatessen or something

Answer 8

I'd just buy some - digornio sells a good thick one, and it's often on sale for $2.50 for a small tub of it. By the time you buy the ingredients to make it, I am sure you would pay 2.50

Answer 9

Reduced cream with butter and parmesean/romano cheese
However some people start with a rue of butter and flour then they add milk/chicken stock (can be a lower fat version of the traditional then they add the cheese)

Answer 10

Just melt Brie cheese over noodles, throw in a little garlic and some cut up chicken. Mmmm.....
