Step 1

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with until smooth

Step 3

Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps.

Step 4

Season with a dash of oregano and nutmeg if desired. Add ground black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Stir in Parmesan. Continue to cook the sauce for 10-12 minutes over medium heat until it is hot and begins to thicken slightly. (It DOES take 10-12 minutes!) Stir frequently and whisk as needed to ensure it is smooth and the parmesan is incorporated throughout. When the sauce begins to thicken, remove it from the heat. It will thicken more after it is removed from the heat. If the sauce becomes too thick, thin with a little milk.

Step 6

Toss with hot pasta to serve. Serve with additional grated Parmesan cheese and/or bread crumbs and/or finely chopped parsley.
