Spinach Alfredo Sauce

By GratefulSea

Recipe by: nbrock_85 "Better than Olive Garden®! Top with grilled chicken on fettuccine pasta for a complete meal or use as a dip for bread sticks. Delicious rich and creamy spinach Alfredo everyone will love. When I make this dish, everyone raves over it! Add more spinach if you're a spinach lover or leave it out if you're not a fan. I like adding lots of garlic! For a thicker sauce, add more cream cheese."

• 3/4 cup thawed frozen chopped spinach
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 3 Tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
