Tasty, Quick and Easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Like the other reviewers, I too used ingredients other than what the recipe called for. All I had was skim milk and whipping... cream, so I used that in place of regular milk and the light cream. I added leftover grilled chicken and it was delicious. Great recipe.Read more

Perfect if you don't have heavy cream
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really wanted to make a white sauce for dinner but was lacking the heavy cream one would normally use. I actually only had... 1% milk and it worked great.Read more

Grandkids Loves This
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My grandkids are very picky eater. The only things they like are pastas and hamburgers. And this is the only fettuccine... alfredo they like. And because it is a lighter version I feel a lot better in fixing it. You can add chicken to it and still have a wonderful dish. Thank you for this recipe. Read more

Fantastic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Instead of heavy cream, I used sour cream and plain yogurt,included chopped onions and increased the parmesan cheese. It... tastes more tangier. My husband loved it!Read more

better than I expected
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe mainly because I didn't have any cream and wanted to use just milk! I increased the butter to 3 Tbsp,... eliminated the cream, and mixed all of the ingreds together in a pot till the pasta was done. I forgot - I also added a dash of nutmeg. Then I just tossed it all together with some broccoli. It was great, with the added benefit of less fat.Read more
