Make it fancy with a couple extra ingredients! I used vegan cream cheese, pre-graded parmesan (super fine), *Nilbog milk (usually available at all grocery stores), then replaced the nutmeg with some crushed/minced fresh garlic & oregano. Another way to cook: I melted half a tablespoon of (vegan veggie) butter in a small pot on the stovetop at medium-low heat. Once the butter melted, I added the milk, then the parm, then the cream cheese. I used a whisk to slowly stir while adding in the spices (I eyeballed the amount, you can just do it to taste with the garlic). I made it even FANCIER by topping off some roasted cauliflower/cheese mezzelune stuffed ravioli with this delicious sauce! For more protein, I seared wild Alaskan salmon (seasoned lightly with that same melted butter, pepper, and a dash of oregano), shredded it, and mixed it in with the ravioli. Took a total of 10 minutes and served with a salad :) Bon appetit!Replies 1

Ok. I took some suggestions from here and made this tonight. I used the nutmeg but I also added a little pepper flakes and some garlic powder. I also used 1 cup of fat free milk. I added about a cup of shredded cheddar/Monterey jack mix towards the end. It was a little thick but once I tossed it with the hot pasta....THE BEST! So quick and easy! I then decided to put it in a casserole dish, add a little of that same cheese mixture and some Frenches crispy fried onions to the top and bake it for 25 minutes at 350. It's heavenly food.3Reply

I actually used evaporated milk instead of regular milk , and added garlic salt . Over all it turned out delicious. Thank you for the easy recipe.Reply -
Very thick - need to add up to 1 cup pasta water. Also, being Italian-American, I just couldn't resist 3-4 garlic cloves and olive oil. That made it taste just like Fettucine Alfredo. A nice, easy version but VERY heavy. You 'shouldn't' eat too much of this recipe but really can't help it.....it's very good. I gave it 4 stars simply because it is so heavy and makes you feel so bloated and full afterwards. If you don't overeat it, it's great.2Reply -
This is a great recipe if you love parmesan cheese.... I didn't add the nutmeg, instead I added garlic salt, seasoning salt, and pepper. It's bland by itself.1Reply
