Nat's Fettuccine Alfredo

Submitted by Nat Da Brat

"This recipe is extremely easy and fast to put together. The taste is fabulous (My Mom says it's the best she's ever had!). Great side dish, or add chicken, broccoli, asparagus, anything you want to make it a whole meal. I boil my noodles first, in the same pan that I toss the sauce in, so the mess is minimal too!"

This recipe is great. Wonderful taste. I used plain yogurt instead of sour cream. I used spaghettini and dried parsley. We got 4 servings with this recipe. Thanks Nat :) Made for Bargain Basement tag game

Not bad but not exactly what I was looking for. I like garlic but thought this was a bit much. It doesn't make much so I would double it for my family of five.
