Alfredo Sauce

I was looking for healthier ingredients to make an alfredo sauce and discovered a new product at our local grocery store: Green Mountain Farms Greek Cream Cheese. From their website:

2X More Protein

I came up with this recipe for alfredo sauce and my 13 yr old loved it. Hubby thought it was pretty tasty too and he doesn't care for cheese based sauces. Best of all, a 50 gram serving (more than enough sauce for a serving of the pasta/broccoli/ham dish I made tonight) was only 80 calories and 4.5 g of fat.
