Very easy sauce to make and it was good, too! Used Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese wedges instead of the cream cheese because of an allergy and it turned out wonderful. Thanks for posting this. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

Wondeful low fat alfredo sauce. Quick and easy to make. It doesn't seem "low fat" in flavor or consistency. Much better than anythin I've bought in a jar!

This was a big hit with my two girls. I added salt, but otherwise followed the recipe as is. I thought it was good, but as we have it infrequently, I'll probably go with a full fat version as a special treat. Many thanks for sharing the recipe!
