This was good, though I think that next time I will leave out the onion, or reduce it a bit, as it seemed a little overpower for our taste. Did add a little more parmesan with some romano for extra flavor (and you can never have enough cheese!). Served over portabello stuffed rigatoni.

This is wonderful. I usually make my own version of alfredo sauce but this one is yummy too. Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.

I like this alfredo sauce recipe. The stock adds some flavor to the richness and cuts down on the fatty taste. I added some finely chopped chicken and it was great. Thanks!
