I came across this recipe on a message board, years ago. It is a very rich and thick white sauce. My kids love it. As good as it is, it is also very fattening. I have tried this recipe out with lower fat subsititues and it's just not as good, of course. Presto--

CREAMY ALFREDO SAUCE

This is a great quick and easy recipe that your family will love! You may add more Parmesan, garlic, and salt to taste. You can easily add anything you like (i.e. grilled shrimp, chicken, etc.). I also love pouring this sauce over pasta with sauteed peppers.
