Incredible! 		OMG! You would not know this was healthy unless you already knew...it tastes so good I felt guilty afterwards! I mixed fresh mushrooms and broccoli in with the sauce and served it with a grilled chicken breast over whole wheat Penne Pasta and it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!! A definite keeper!

Incredible! 		This was amazing! I'm a vegetarian so I used veggie broth instead of chicken. I also used an extra tablespoon of flour and added some tomato sauce on top of my serving for a blush sauce. But I couldn't believe how tasty it was!

Very Good 		I Thought this was delicious. I did make some changes. I used half the amount of garlic and then added just a little garlic powder when I added the salt and pepper. I also added about 1tsp of Italian seasoning! Then at the end I added fresh spinach. It's a good base recipe to build on.

Very Good 		Not as cheesy as I would have liked, but considering no butter was used and the calorie of a serving this was a very good recipe. Will def use again in the future.

Good 		This was ok. Not great, I think it was too thin... perhaps I'll make less sauce by adding less milk next time... Or, take some others' advice and wait a bit. I only used two servings, so we have enough for another meal or two (depending on how many we feed), we'll see how thick it is then.

Good 		This is a good alt to fatty Alfredo sauce, however, it calls for TOO much garlic (coming from a garlic lover.) The garlic over powered the sauce. Next time, I'll only add half the garlic. And there's not enough flavor, it needs more salt for flavor. Love how easy it is to make though.

I am planning on making this tonight but an curious about what measure each serving is? About 1/4 cup? 1/3 cup? Please advise. Thanks.

Incredible! 		This is an excellent sauce. I didn't tell my family it was healthy until after they ate it and loved it. The sauce thickened considerably after sitting for a while. Next time I will wait a while before serving it so it sticks to the pasta better.
