     My hubby and I loved it. I served it on WW pasta with grilled shrimp and broccoli for a quick meal. - 1/17/10

     This is so incredibly easy and tasty! I use 1/2c half-n-half and 1 cup almond milk, add black pepper and just a dash of nutmeg. IMO, best served over fettuccine w/ broccoli, mushroom, and/or green peas. DELISH!!! - 9/30/09

     Very easy and pretty good. Mine was a tiny bit bitter (I can't think of a better way to describe it)...I think it was the type of cream cheese I used. Good for a quick, easy dinner. I added pepper and extra fresh garlic. Would make again if I needed to use up the ingredients, like this time! - 7/24/10

     Is a serving size 1/3 cup? I wish the calculator figured that out for us. Or the author. Thanks. Want to try it though. - 2/9/10

     Often wondered what "alfredo" is. Now I know - a cheese sauce that's not quite a properly cheesy sauce. I make a savoury white sauce. A basic white sauce, and add either mustard powder to the thickening agent, or coarse grain mustard - plus herbs & seasonings. Keep cheese as protein in other meals. - 2/2/10

     I must have done something wrong, because it was way too "cream cheesy" for me. I ended up having to toss it and go buy some jarred. Wasn't as healthy, but I was able to eat it. Sorry, this just wasn't for me. - 9/6/09

     I liked it! I think next time I will add a little more milk to make it more creamy but all in all it was a quick, and tasty meal. I served it over noodles with cut up chicken and broccoli - 6/8/09

     Looks fantastic, AND healthy! Think I might also try with Evaporated fatfree skim milk and see how it is! - 3/7/09
