A quick and very easy recipe that was creamy and flavoursome. I wanted to include some vegetables in this to make a one-dish meal, so I sauteed a diced onion, a thinly sliced leek and, of course, added some minced garlic and thyme, which all went really well with the alfredo sauce. I tried to reduce the fat a but by using low-fat cream and low-fat milk which I always find perfectly creamy enough for our tastes. We really enjoyed this and it's really satisfying to have some other serves in the freezer! Made for PAC Spring 2009.

What a great recipe Aries_87, the fettuccine Alfredo was quick and very easy to make. I used a good quality parmesan cheese, half & half cream, 1% milk and no parsley. The sauce was perfect, light, thick, rich and creamy. I added steamed shrimp for a wonderful meal in one. Thank you so much for sharing.

Delicious! Quick and easy too! I halved the batch and then halved it again for one serving and it was so easy to do! I used Land O Lakes fat free half and half for the light cream and 1% milk so this made for a pretty tasty, not so guilty lunch! Thank you for sharing your recipe I know I'll be enjoying again! :) Made for PAC Fall 08
