Creamy Alfredo Sauce

1/2 c. butter
1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese
1 c. half and half (I just use milk)
1/3 c. parmesan cheese
1 t. garlic powder
pepper to taste

In a medium sauce pan melt the butter. Once the butter is almost melted, cut the cream cheese into 4 pieces, and put them into the sauce pan (melts quicker in smaller pieces.) Once the butter and cream cheese are mixed well together add the half and half (or milk,) parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and then shake pepper on top to taste. Stir all together until well mixed. Once all the ingredients are mixed together and heated turn off the burner and set aside so the sauce can thicken up. Stir every few moments. Pour over your favorite pasta, and warm breadsticks are amazing to dip in the extra sauce! (You can also use this as the sauce on an alfredo pizza)
