Ham Alfredo Uses Leftovers

This is a quick and easy alfredo sauce.  It uses cream cheese.  I also changed up the usual parmesan cheese for asiago.

You can always use parmesan or romano.  I just happened to have a huge piece of asiago I had bought at Sam’s a while ago.

And as usual, lower-fat alternatives may replace the regular milk and cream cheese for a healthier option.
