I have made pasta alfredo many times in my day. I tried something a little different this time. I am happy to report this is the best recipe for pasta alfredo ever. I added some olive oil and garlic powder to the sauce. And something magical happened. It was creamy and oh, so tasty. I don’t make alfredo often because heaven forbid the calories for one serving are through the roof. But every now and then I crave the stuff. Deliciously divine and almost sinful are some words to use when eating this dish. You can’t really worry about your calorie intake for the day when you make this recipe. Just make it enjoy it and work out twice as hard tomorrow. I hope you enjoy it! Bon Appetit, Cecelia
