Very Good 4.1/5

Cookbook creator says: You can use any number of veggies with this recipe. I mixed fresh and frozen spinach, added broccoli and french beans, and fresh cucumber at the end. I left the cheese out and it was still great. Seasoning this dish will be important for taste.

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 easy and can be eaten as a side dish or main dish. If I'm making it as a main dish I sometimes add chicken, low fat salami or feta cheese (all not included in the calorie count).

I prefer to make it the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight to allow the pasta to soak up all the flavors.
