     I sauteed garlic, mushrooms, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes and added them to the sauce. It was awesome! - 8/11/09

     This is really really good. I'm a cheese freak & it's the hardest thing for me to give up when I'm trying to lose weight, and this gave me all the happiness of my cheese addiction without the calories!! - 4/9/09

     Tasty! I also added mushrooms and cut it back to 2 servings: 2 ounces of nonfat cream cheese, 1 clove of garlic, 1/4 cup of 2% milk, 1 mozzarella cheese stick cut up in chunks, 1/8 cup of a 3 cheese blend (parmesan, romano and asiago). Perfect portion! - 9/6/13

     This was so good! Just as good as regular, full fat Alfredo. My only question is what exactly is the serving size? - 9/13/12

     I used this to top pizza (Easy Yeast Free Pizza submitted by BRFIED). I used 1/2 the garlic and added 2/3C cooked spinach. I spread it on the crust and topped with a little more mozzarella cheese. It was yummy. Think next time I'll try adding some artichoke and using it w/tortilla chips! - 6/27/11

     My whole family loved the sauce, very rich and cheesy. I used blue menu fat free cream cheese and it melted just fine. I also used blue menu high fibre fettucine which complimented it great!!! a keeper for sure - 1/8/10

     Really good! Tons of flavour without having to put tons of sauce on my pasta. Very tasty. - 11/8/11

     followed the recipe I thought it was awesome. Husband far from a healthy food person loved it. I think next time I will try spinach and fresh garlic. - 7/17/11

     nothing like the real thing. tasted like something you'd get in a lean cuisine frozen entree. 4 of our kids, my husband and I agreed. - 7/5/10

     This was good, especially for as healthy as it was compared to regular alfredo sauce. I added a bit of cornstarch to thicken it (my fiance likes thicker sauces) and some more mozz cheese for extra cheesy flavor. - 2/8/09

     I used low fat cream cheese I cut back on the mozzarella and added more shredded parmesan. With the addition of veggies, shrimp and fettuccini it made a good dinner. - 11/12/20
