    Garlic Alfredo Sauce

    Garlic Alfredo Sauce

     

    My 3 year old daughter, Amanda, doesn't like tomato sauce at all. She won't touch any pasta that has it, ever. She liked the Roasted Red Pepper with Asparagus Sauce I made a couple of weeks ago, but she normally won't eat cream sauces either. Or creamy soups. To say my kid is picky would be putting it mildly!

    Last week she told me she wanted spaghetti and meatballs, which she would eat without sauce, but I didn't have time to make meatballs or the tomato sauce my husband would want. So, I decided to try a cream sauce again. Sad part, I honestly can't remember if she ate it or not. I'm way too used to her refusing everything!

    This is a thin sauce, I know some people like it that way, but if you would rather a thicker sauce combine 3 tablespoons cornstarch or flour with enough COLD cream or milk to make a thin paste, and then mix it in to the hot prepared sauce, cooking and stirring constantly for 1 minute.
