  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! - 8/24/08

  This was absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! I cannot remember the last time I ate, let alone made, alfredo sauce because of the high fat ~ THIS recipe however, has changed my mind forever! Doubled the recipe, used 2 cups evaporated skim milk plus too plus skim milk ~ did not double garlic ~ DELISH! - 1/4/11

  Are you kidding me! This was AMAZING! When I was looking for an alfredo sauce recipe online that was..wait for it ....990 calories per serving!!!!! Then finding this one for 80 cals just goes to show you that cooking light does not mean less flavor! - 4/19/12

  Overall, a keeper. It was really good and very easy, especially for a lighter version of a dish I love so much! I know it added more cals and stuff, but it took an extra 3T of flour and it was the perfect thickness. I also added shrimp and imitation crab. My new go-to alfredo recipe! Thanks! - 2/1/13

  Thought this was an excellant light version for an alfredo Galrlic was a bit strong but I like garlic. I followed the receipe but had to add a TBSPof flour at the end to thicken properly. I thought was good as is but would like a bit more cheese. Good sauce for pasta or veggies. Will do again.

  My husband said it was the best Alfredo I've ever made! I used 2% cause that's what we drink, and used garlic salt instead of normal salt. Delicious and will definitely make again! - 12/6/16

  This recipe is brilliant. I used goat milk instead of skim milk, but otherwise followed it precisely. You would never know the difference between this and a full fat recipe. Kudos to the chef! - 5/13/13

  Made this with chicken, broccoli and thickened with corn starch. Used additional seasonings like parsley and Mrs. Dash and put over gluten free fetticine noodles. Yummy!! Definitely will make again and use with shrimp. So GLAD it is HEALTHY!! - 3/30/13

  LOVE THIS!It feels like comfort food, at a fraction of the guilt! I added a little more flour to thicken more and used dried garlic powder instead of fresh, so I didn't use any oil. I served with shrimp, broccoli and mushrooms over whole wheat pasta. Hubby and I loved it- we'll make again! - 3/9/13

  I just made this for dinner - and it was VERY tasty while still staying healthy. Will for sure be making it again. I did have to add some corn starch to thicken it a bit. My husband & 2 sons LOVED it!!! Thanks for sharing!! - 2/16/13

  Not sure what the serving size is - used 1/3 c per 2/3 c of pasta. I thought is just was okay. DH loved it for its lightness. I added shrimp at the end. Will make again. - 6/8/12

  This sauce was sooo yummy. I LOVE alfredo sauce and found this a good substitute to the full fat version. I did add another tbsp of flour to help thicken it and still would have preferred it a little thicken. But definitely satisfied my pasta craving. - 3/21/12

  I had no garlic on hand, so skipped the first step completely and added garlic powder instead. I served it over turkey scallopini and whole wheat fetuccini. Yum!
  Handsfree tip: I used a'Stir Crazy' battery operated stirrer and was able to cook the rest of the meal as the sauce stirred itself. - 1/25/12

  This is excellent! I doubled the recipe and used 2 cups of fat free evaporated milk and 2 cups of fat free milk. Instead of salt I used Mrs. Dash and reduced fat Parmesan cheese. It was wonderful over Penne, chicken and Asparagus. - 1/19/12

  Use veggie Parmesan instead of regular type and omit the salt add-on. This tastes just as good and will bring down your salt content and add even more of a health benefit - 10/3/11

  It seemed bland. I only used three garlic cloves and they weren't very large. Next time I will try more. I l also will cut the recipe in half, it made way too much for my hubban and me. It took longer then I thought it would to make the sauce. Next time I will start it 20 minutes sooner. - 8/28/11

  Hi! I know recipes can be adjusted, but I'm curious about the sodium content in this recipe. I'd like to try it, but I'd like that information first.
  
  thanks! - 7/27/11

  Loved this recipe. Tried it originally over a fresh broccoli and cheese ravioli because I thought a white sauce would be better than a red sauce. It was so good. I will definitely be making this again. - 5/22/11

  It is delicious BUT I used half of the recommended garlic, and still it was a bit too much for me. I would use even less. I added onion to the garlic. Milk: I used half of the amount skimmed milk, and the other half evaporated milk (carnation). I added sautee mushrooms. Delicious on top of pasta. :) - 4/28/11

  This was great! I could do without the salt because the cheese itself was salty. At the end I added some sliced grilled chicken and fresh spinach for more umph! I served it over some WW pasta and for my husband, spaghetti squash. Yummy! - 3/31/11

  My husband ate it so fast, and he loved it and couldn't believe that it was healthy! I liked it but I didn't want it to be runny so reading the other comments I decided to add another tbsp of flour and after it cooks if you let it sit up for a few minutes it does thicken. But it was good! - 2/25/11

  wow this sauce is awesome !! I love garlic so I thought the amount was great. To save some calories I substituted the olive oil for a olive oil cooking spray to saute the garlic on very low heat and constantly stirring! My calculations yielded about 60 cals per serving. - 1/26/11

  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! - 4/15/10

  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. - 2/25/10

  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. - 2/1/10

  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. - 5/12/09

  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. - 4/19/09

  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. - 4/25/08
