Yummy, easy alfredo sauce

[cappyhead]

Based on this recipe:    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/low-cal-fettuccine-alfredo-recipe.html

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup 2% milk and 1/2 cup half-and-half (can also use 1 cup 2% milk instead of half-and-half)
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cream cheese
3/4 cup total parmesan & romano cheese blended, freshly grated (can also use just parmesan cheese if you prefer)
freshly ground pepper

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon,1 minute. Whisk in the milk and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook, whisking constantly, until just thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and parmesan/romano cheese; whisk until melted, about 1 minute.  Add pepper.  Serve over warm, cooked pasta.

I sauteed some Italian sausage and a chopped up zucchini, put it on top of some rotini, then ladled the sauce over that.  It was so tasty!
