This was a really good flavor. We don’t cook often with smoked paprika so it’s always a treat when we do. I did thicken the sauce with cornstarch and finished it with a tablespoon of butter to add richness.

When my DH saw the sauce, he said "I thought you said alfredo?':lol: We're just used to WHITE alfredo. This is very good and a change of pace. I did use more garlic powder and the recipe never stated WHEN to add the reserved tsp. of seasoning, so I added it with the evaporated milk. Turned out very good with a hint of sweetness. Thank You. Made for The French Forum tag game.
