    This was very bland - we added 2 garlic cloves and that helped but if you don't eat this right away, it gets gluey. We let it sit on the stove for 20 minutes and that was too long. Won't make again.

    This was an ok dish. I don't understand why so many people raved about it. I guess I'm just used to regular (fatty alfredo!! Anyway, I sauteed mushrooms and onion first to give it more flavor. I would cut down or eliminate the corn starch. Using "fat free" half and half is just fine if you don't have light half and half. Go for the high quality parmesan!
