Recipe



TO MAKE SAUCE: Heat butter and cream cheese in saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until cheese begins to melt. Add Sherry, cayenne, white pepper and garlic powder. Vigorously whisk in 2 cups half and half until sauce is smooth and creamy. If too thick, add more half and half. Season with salt to taste. If just making fettuccine alfredo, toss sauce with the cooked and drained fettuccine and minced flat leaf parsley. There will be enough sauce to serve about 6 people.
