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!

I use the same amount of general all purpose flour instead of cornstarch as a suggestion. No need for cream. Melt butter in pan, slowly add flour and whisk until incorporated. Replace cream with the same amount of milk. Add warmed milk into roue and slowly stir until milk is heated but not boiling to make a smooth bechamel . Add parmesan cheese slowly and stir until smooth and dissolved. Add all spices plus a teaspoon of Garlic powder (more or less to your preferred taste. Toss spaghetti in sauce. (Note you can add some leftover chicken or whatever meat you like. Takes same time as posted recipe, however, it is a little more creamy tasting and less calories and fat without cream. Bon Appetit

I was surprised at how well this came out. I didn't use any cream, and added roasted veggies and pine nuts at the end... YUM! I would like to try it with lemon zest next time to brighten the flavors.

SO delicious! I made this for my boyfriend, and he couldn't even tell it was a lighter version. I couldn't find light cream at the store, so like many others, I used 1% milk and just a splash of heavy cream, and it worked just fine. We also added broccoli and chicken breast.

This was awesome! I did get sidetracked with peeling my shrimp and the milk almost overboiled. I should have kept an eye on it so the starch didn't get stuck to the bottom because I had to quickly take it off of the stove and stir and scrape to get it off. But the consistency was nice and thick. After adding the cream and cheese, it was perfect! I also added a little pepper and garlic powder. Next time I will put it in a blender with some roasted peppers instead of adding the cream!
