Best Ever Alfredo Sauce

Submitted by Ratatouille245

"I made this recipe up. I like it and so does the rest of my family. It goes great with either chicken or shrimp. It doesn't have as much butter as other alfredo sauces. I tried to make it a little healthier."

Oh my!!! I think you have outdone yourself with this, it was absolutely amazing I just couldn't stop eating it and scraped the pan with a spatula to get every bit out. I made it to the recipe with one change. I couldn't get Fontina cheese any place, so I used Gruyere which I do like it's sweet and nutty and grates well. My pasta was reginette. I will be making this again my best friend would love this, so when she comes for lunch I will make it for her. Thank's for a very good recipe. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

This is a really good recipe. Lots of flavors. I just wouldn't put as much pepper. Thanks for the recipe!
