"This is a restaurant-quality dish that is rich, creamy and worth every darn calorie! try to use the best Parmesan cheese only for this recipe as it will really make a difference to the taste --- although the amounts stated will make a fair amount of alfredo sauce it may easily be doubled if desired, feel free to add in cooked shrimp or chicken to the alfredo sauce, this is very good!"

This recipe is wonderful! As good (maybe even better) than any I've had in a restaurant! I didn't add the cayenne as DH doesn't care for any "heat" I did add steamed broccoli and leftover rotisserie chicken. After the sauce was thickened. I also grated a small bit (1/8 to 1/4 tsp) of fresh nutmeg. Had with recipe #105726. Made in honor of John - Cookathon for Kittencal.
