Oh for heaven’s sake friends, <br />If you are going to make fettuccine Alfredo, use a real recipe with all the butter and cheese. Compensate some other day, and portion control too. <br />This “lighter” version is lousy, tasteless and just plain bland like other reviews. <br />I’m sorry I even tried it; olive oil and Parm cheese would have better than this one.
