What a great recipe. My whole family loved this (DH&DS) tasted way better than any bechemel sauce I ever had. Nice and light and creamy. I always have lots of yogurt on hand. I made it into a one dish meal by topping it with chicken tenders, peas,spinach and seasonings. I did use penne instead because it's easier for my son to eat and the sauce stuck to it nicely.Thanks it's definately a keeper.Made for PAC Fall 09.

This dish surprised me. I chose it because I had everything on hand and wasn't expecting much from such a simple recipe, but WOW, this recipe is really good. I used whole wheat linguini. It's so simple that it would be easy to throw in extra ingredients and change it up. I will definately use this again. Made for Vegnswap 13 VIP.

I really enjoyed this, easy to do and very versatile. I stuck to the ingredients, although I enjoy the suggestions from other reviewers, I especially like the idea of dried red pepper flakes for that little bite. As we use little seasoning, we enjoyed the simple flavours here, this made a pleasant supper for DH and , and would certainly also go well with an added tomato-based sauce, or as a side dish. Thanks Bellinda, very nice! Made for Lucky 13 Vegetarian Swap, August 09

It was the yoghurt that drew me to this recipe as I often use Greek yoghurt instead of cream or sour cream. I doubled the garlic and added two thinly sliced leeks, a couple of cups of sliced mushrooms and some rosemary, thyme and sage. I used Greek yoghurt. A delicious pasta which I'll certainly be making again. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

I definitely took Shuzbud's suggestion about adding more garlic and some peppers--I also added a few other things...for one, I added several cups of spinach, for color, about a teaspoon of crushed red pepper for a kick, misc. herbs (oregano and thyme), as well as fresh grated asiago cheese on top. It was a great "alfredo"...thanks for the recipe! Will make again!
