Easy Alfredo Sauce II

"This recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo is so easy and delicious that my family requests it constantly! We like this best served with grilled chicken breasts and broccoli or spinach. If you are lucky enough to have any left over, you can mix them together for a feast the next day. Enjoy!"
