Introduction

This delicious recipe is based on the Olive Garden alfredo recipe. I lightened it up by using half and half instead of heavy cream, and cutting back the butter from a full stick to 1/4 stick.

Ingredients

    2 Tbsp butter
    2 Tbsp cream cheese
    1 pint half and half
    1 tsp garlic powder
    white pepper to taste
    8-9 ounces shredded fresh parmesan cheese
    3 cans minced or chopped clams, drained
    1 pound bay scallops, cooked

Tips

Seafood can be omitted for a vegetarian recipe. Less cheese can be used as well. This is ultra cheesy!


Directions

Melt the butter over low heat. Add the cream cheese and break up until softened. Add half and half, then stir in garlic powder and pepper. Stir constantly over low heat for 15-20 minutes. With heat on very low, added grated cheese, and stir until all cheese is melted and well incorporated into sauce. Drain juices from seafood, and mix in. Ladle over cooked pasta.
