A couple years ago I found a really great and really simple recipe for Alfredo sauce. I don't remember where, though.

1 stick butter or margarine 1 8 oz. package of cream cheese 1 cup parmesan cheese 1 cup milk (I use skim)

As far as I can tell, only the milk has any significant carbs (12 g/cup). Everything else I checked showed 0% carbs. In a skillet melt the butter. Add the cream cheese and stir till melted. Add the parmesan, keep stirring. And very slowly add the milk (while stirring all the time, of course).

Now most Alfredo recipes also include pasta. However, I've come to LOVE the way broccoli can soak up a sauce! Use the recipe above to make a shrimp or chicken alfredo and pour it over broccoli instead of pasta. Just heaven! LOL!!!

Maybe someone here can figure the nutritional stats on the recipe above?

Thanks,

Gary
