Garlic Alfredo

Garlic Alfredo is one of those things that seems difficult to make, but is really very simple. It is also absolutely delicious, but then anything containing garlic gets a big thumbs up from me. A lot of you always ask me to make meals that are the perfect portion size for one. So I decided to make this recipe one of those. Starting with a pasta dish is obviously the way to go right?

I love Alfredo with prawns, but you could add anything to this. It would work great with grilled chicken, salmon or mushrooms. I served this to my husband with salmon and all he could say was 'OH MY GOD!' So I think that means it was delicious right? This dish is ready in 20 minutes and has minimal ingredients, another bonus.
