I'm a newbie when it comes to cooking, I only just recently started taking it more seriously. I have always loved seafood [especially shrimp] and this dish would be so expensive at a restaurant! I was like, should i even attempt to make this being as how i just started? Am i biting off more than i can chew?? Anyway, i had everything necessary [thank you supercook.com!] and gave it a try. AND HOLY CRAP was it delicious!!! My hubby that is a pretty simple eater [meaning he's content eating ramen or hotdogs lol] loved it, even my 20 month old daughter! If she eats it, that's a instant win for me! I will definitely make this again, i'm stoked that i can make one of my favorite dishes at home now!

Fabulous! My daughter said, "this tastes like a restaurant meal". I'd say that was high praise indeed! The recipe comes together easily. I love the cooking of broccoli in the same pot as the pasta. I ended up using Bertolli Alfredo sauce (the whole jar - more than the 1 cup listed). I don't like all jarred alfredo sauces but Bertolli is my favorite. When I have more time, I will try Chef DiB's recipe. :) A few adjustments I made were: I used about 3/4 lb. of fettucine and more than one cup of alfredo sauce ( one jar) and it seemed like the perfect ratio for us. Also, I used the same pan that the mushrooms, gr. onion and garlic was cooked in to heat up the alfredo sauce. I wanted to make sure it was all hot. I added the cooked shrimp to the alfredo sauce to get them heated up , too. Only for about a min., I didn't want to overcook them. Then I tossed it all together. GREAT, restaurant-quality recipe. Thanks for taking the time to experiment and pull it all together. ~Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef~
