Here is what I do to make Alfredo:

In a pan, melt 1/2 a stick of butter and toss in some flour. Don't let this brown or burn. Less flour for more cream used (next step) and more flour for more milk used (next step).

Then add 2 cups of milk and cream to the flour and butter. 2 cups total, not each. You can do mostly cream if you like or you can do mostly milk.

Stir frequently until smooth, don't let boil. Don't walk away from the stove. Add a few tablespoons of cream cheese. Let all that melt in and get mixed.

Stir in well mashed up roasted garlic. Use as much or as little as you like. You can do minced fresh garlic here if you prefer.

Add 1/2 cup or so fresh parmesan. Add a little romano here if you like a nutty flavor.

salt and pepper to taste.
