10min Alfredo

This super easy recipe can be used for any protein of your choice. Add to pasta noodles or noodles to have a complete meal for your family.

It can be easily adapted with any milk you have available. In this recipe I used a high protein low fat milk, but if calories aren’t an issue a decadent option is to use half and half or cream.
