This is one of our family favorites! Although it's pretty low in calories and fat (for fettuccine alfredo), it has plenty of flavor. This looks really good, too, so we make it sometimes when company comes. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

This is variation on a Better Homes & Garden recipe. It tends to be a bit on the spicy side. If you are not a fan of the heat, cut back onthe horseradish and the red pepper.

Incredible! 5.0/5

I'm playing around with Jambalaya recipes, trying to get close to the one I've been making my family using a seasoning that is no longer available. This one uses a cajun seasoning that I made - recipe can be found her on spark recipes.

This is definitely spicy, adjust the cajun seasoning and tabasco to your palette.

This is really good with a piece of french bread to sop up the juice.
