Alfredo Sauce

8 oz light cream cheese, softened
6 TBSP butter
1 1/4 C milk
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 C Parmesan cheese
16 oz pasta

Boil water in a large pot.  When it comes to a boil add 1/4 tsp salt and pasta.  Stirring occasionally, cook as directed. When pasta is done, return to pan, drizzle with olive oil and stir.  Then add 1/2 C parmesan cheese and stir.  Then add sauce when it is done.
To make the sauce...
Melt cream cheese and butter in a medium sized pot, stirring with a whisk.  When they are melted and combined, slowly whisk in milk. Then add seasonings.  Keep stirring until heated through.  Pour over pasta and let sit for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to let the pasta absorb the sauce.

If you want to add chicken, I cube one large chicken breast and cook it in a pan with lemon/pepper seasonings and a little olive oil.  When it is lightly browned, add 1-2 cloves of garlic and stir until fragrant(5 seconds).  Then add the chicken to the sauce before pouring over pasta.
