Hacked Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta Sauce Recipes. (Hacked Alfredo Sauce Recipe). I wanted to make an Alfredo sauce for a pasta dish, but didn't have a lot on hand (no butter or heavy cream). Here is my hacked version, which is probably a lot less fattening than a classic Alfredo. Play around with it and with what you have on hand. I used this sauce in the Spicy Sausage Alfredo dish I also posted on the site.
