     LOVE the spag. squash idea! Thanks! - 12/5/13

     Totally Awesome!!!! I highly recommend, nice and thick and flavorful. I used one tablespoon of fresh minced garlic, and fresh parsley and dried basil. I passed on the nutmeg also, but gave it a generous dash of fresh ground pepper. Just before serving, I sprayed it with a little spray butter. - 1/24/12

     This was a very good lighter version of alfredo sauce. I used a bit less milk and also added a wedge of Laughing Cow swiss cheese for extra flavor and texture. Delish! - 10/23/11

     This was delicious. Made with 1/2 lower fat cream cheese and 1/2 spinach artichoke cream cheese. Doubled the recipe but I don't think I really needed to, this made quite a bit. My entire family enjoyed it, even the picky kids. Thanks! - 10/18/11

     I needed something quick to pull together what I had on hand...pasta, asparagus and shrimp. Delicious! And FAST. I blackened the shrimp for a little extra flavor. This would be good with chicken and other veggies like broccoli, too. THANKS! - 2/22/10

     It was good, but was really thick, not saucy. Maybe add more milk and less cream cheese. - 10/9/09
  • BIKINIBOUND!!
     Awesome! Made it for the Bf's Crab Alfredo dinner the other night, and he loved it! He said it was better than his favorite jarred stuff that I normally use. I thought it was pretty good too, and will definitely be making it again! - 1/10/09

     I love faux alfredo made with cream cheese. It is much lower in fat and super tasty! Good recipe! I do leave out the nutmeg---just a personal preference. :) - 5/12/08
