Simple Garlic and Black Pepper Sauce

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta Sauce Recipes. (Simple Garlic and Black Pepper Sauce). A simple pasta sauce using a few common ingredients, this is kind of like an Alfredo, but not nearly as rich. It's very light and flavorful and pretty low in fat, depending on what kind of milk you use. I made this up because I didn't have any butter for my kids' noodles, and dry noodles just won't do!
