Great, I've never made Alfredo before. I did add @ 1/3 brick of cream cheese. Added some leftover smoked chicken and some broccoli to those who like it. Will make again!!

I thought this was yummy, and very easy. I did use the cream cheese.

I've been making it this way for years. I tend to add a splash of white wine and a very inportant addition is a little bit of nutmeg. It rounds out the flavours and you will really notice an improvment. Just a bit though as it is a strong flavour. This is not a recipe for someone watching the waist line!!!

A really rich and delicious version of fettuccine. This makes a great side dish with chicken or anything. It's also filling enough to stand alone. Definitely need a walk after eating, though!

This was just wonderful........nice and creamy........I substituted the garlic power for real minced garlic about 10 cloves for a serving for 6 - 10 and 1 pint of heavy cream and a cup of milk. I also served it with chicken i just fried in a pan.........5 stars
