****ermilk-Leek Alfredo Sauce

Alfredo sauce [COLOR=#2B65B0 ! important][/COLOR]is a wonderfully unhealthy treat, thick and creamy. This version is significantly healthier thanks to replacing much of the evil fatty dairy with tangy ****ermilk. ****er and ****ermilk play very well together here, despite not actually being separated at birth like the originals were; ****er adds richness, depth, and fat as a foil to the ****ermilk's tartness. The sweet (but not too sweet) leeks and complex parmesan round out this sauce, preventing it from being offensively sour or one-dimensional.

4 cups ****ermilk
6 tablespoons ****er
1/3 cup flour
3/4 cup freshly-grated parmesan
6 medium leeks

The red bell pepper and carrots are actually for the my meat course's garnish. I was a bit confused when taking this picture. Still, they're pretty and add some much-needed color to the photo.
