Guiltless Alfredo Sauce- 3 PointsPlus values

2 C skim milk
1/3 C (3 oz) low fat cream cheese
2 T flour
1 t salt (I use much less)
1 T butter
3 garlic cloves
1 C grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
Place milk, cream cheese, flour, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth.  In a non-stick sauce pan, melt butter on med-high heat and add garlic.  Let the garlic saute for about 30 seconds.  Then add milk mixture to the pan.  Stir constantly for about 3 or 4 minutes or until it just comes to a simmer.  Keep stirring and let it cook for a few minutes more. It should be much thicker now.  When it is nice and thick, remove the pan from the heat.  Add the cheese, stir it up and then cover immediately.  Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving. Makes 3 cups (12 servings).  3 PointsPlus values for 1/4 cup.
