  1. Spectacular. We really enjoyed this meal so much. I chose to use the peas instead of broccoli. Loved the creamy garlic alfredo sauce. The ham just rounded out this incredible tasting dish. Thanks RecipeNut.
     
  2. My kind of meal! I made it exactly as stated using peas instead of the broccoli. The alfredo sauce was so rich and creamy. This is an easy dish to make and oh so flavorful, something I will be making over and over again. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. :-)
     
  3. Wow, the garlic really stood out in this recipe! I used fresh garden peas and bacon when I made it. The other nice thing about this dish was how quickly it came together. I went from chopping the bacon to licking my plate clean in half an hour.
     
  4. This was a very yummy dish! Had my 5 yr old DS help me w/ preparation - he loves to whisk & stir! <LOL> A great addition to my recipes! We'll be having this one often! I made this w/ the peas, extra garlic - & then when it was completely finished & ready to serve, I sprinkled it w/ Parmesan & Roman cheeses. MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm good! Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. Very good, I've made this a few times now and it is very yummy and easy. One time I did forget to save the cooking water from the pasta and it makes a huge difference in the texture of this dish. Now I keep a measuring cup in the sink so I can't forget when i drain the pasta! Thanks for posting love this recipe!

Tweaks

  1. Wow! Three helpings later I can say this was delicious! I used 2 small cans of canned ham, and doubled the alfredo sauce. In the sauce I used heavy cream instead of the milk and flour. Since I doubled the sauce, I did not use the pasta water. It was done in under half an hour and will be added to our pasta rotation. Easy and delicious. It doesn't get any better than taht!
     
  2. I followed the recipe exactly, using peas, except I substituted heavy cream for half of the milk, and used low fat cream cheese, because that's what I had on hand. It's very quick and easy. Loved the garlic. Next time I will kick it up a bit - maybe add some basil and/or red pepper flakes.
