Awesome and so, so easy! I used spinach/cheese tortellini then followed directions exactly. I served it at a dinner for 18 people on vacation together at a lake house so doubled the recipe and also made a large lasagna. There were some leftovers that were greatly appreciated for lunch the next day. It reheated well and the sauce didn't break apart like sometimes happens with alfredo. Thank you so much for a recipe we will enjoy again and again!

Wonderful! It's very rich and creamy. I used fresh minced garlic instead of the powder. Great with steamed broccoli. This is a keeper! Thanx for sharing your recipe.

I was looking for something to make tonight that my kids would enjoy, and settled on this. It was a big hit! I made it just as written, except that I used a minced clove of fresh garlic instead of the garlic powder. It was very easy to make, and everyone liked it. I think I would try to reduce the fat a bit next time though.
