Alfredo Sauce

1/2 cup butter
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
2 tsp garlic powder
2 cups milk
6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp pepper

Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time whisking to smooth out the lumps. Stir in Parmesan cheese and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.
