This recipe is for people who like thier alfredo sauce really thick and heavy. The walnuts can be ommitted if desired. I also like to steam asparagus and chop it up and add it to the pasta and sauce when its in the bowl. Remember this sauce is for creamy sauce lovers! Enjoy and dont be afraid to write a comment.
