**Editors Note: This recipe also goes great with regular nachos and the scoop-able chips. Rather than putting it into the microwave, my husband prefers the oven. I simply set the oven to 300* Bake. And apply the same sequence to a cookie pan (I DON'T spray it with cooking spray). I simply remove in 5-6 minutes, when the cheddar melts. This is always a BIG hit on the Sunday Games and its so fast and simple you can't go wrong. I'm never forced to be away from the game too long and most of the time, if I am running low, I can make another batch of dip in the commercial time so I don't miss any part of the game.

**Editor's Note: I poured the Cream Cheese Alfredo Sauce over Elbow Pasta and my husband absolutely LOVED the way the sauce brought out the pasta. I have also tried preparing this over bowtie pasta and they both lock in the sauce for exquisite flavor! The most recent time I diced up some (precooked) chicken and simmered it on low for the remaining 5 minutes (I left the garlic in the sauce) and then poured it over the bowtie pasta, served with a side of garlic bread and it served as the perfect easy to prepare meal! It was an excellent hit with myself and my husband (who at times can be a very picky eater)!
