Lighter Alfredo Sauce

2 cups low-fat milk
1/3 cup (3 ounces) low fat cream cheese
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

In a blender or with an immersion blender, blend milk, cream cheese, and flour until smooth. Set aside.

In a sauce pan, melt butter on medium-high heat. Add garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds.

Add milk mixture to pan. Stir constantly for about 3-4 minutes or until it comes to a simmer. Once simmering, cook a few minutes more, stirring, until sauce is thickened.

Once thickened, remove from heat. Add the cheese, stirring until melted in. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pan and let stand for 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it sits.
