  Please. 1/4 cup Ragu cheesy alfredo sauce, 4 oz walmart pre-cooked shrimp and 3/4 cup Great Value whole wheat pasta. So much easier to make, cheaper, and more food. 430 cals, 13 fat, 42 carbs, and a whopping 43 grams of protein. Plus add veggies and spices to your own taste. - 7/22/12

  I thought a review was supposed to give a person's feedback on the recipe, like: love it, hated it, added a touch of this to make it great...instead many of these "reviews" just trash the recipe and give a WHOLE NEW RECIPE! Write up your own recipe and share it, please. Otherwise you're just rude. - 6/4/13

  Hate goat cheese. I did a recipe MAKEOVER. I used skim milk and instead of goat cheese I used 99% fat free Philly Cream cheese. - 6/4/12

  Does not look attractive and few who ate it did not enjoy it. So many people are gong to "try" it but still give high praise. That messes up the ratings system completely.
  Most comments I read were not good but it still ranks high because of not even trying the dish. Not a good system. - 6/4/13

  Really didn't care for it. It's poorly written (what to do w/the peppers), there's way too much thyme & green peppers, and we found it to be bland. Perhaps with the suggestions - adding artichoke & other veggies it would be good, but as it is - not so much. - 7/15/12

  Thyme is fresh- did you use dry? Also, green bell peppers are too strong for this recipe- try red or yellow. Hope this helps. Chef Meg

  I was not impressed, to be honest. Maybe it was because I didn't use evaporated milk, but just 2% milk...my boyfriend gobbled it down, however. I did add artichoke hearts, too...and the veg in it was very tasty...but that's all i ate of it. - 7/4/12

  I just changed the goat cheese to cottage cheese and added fresh basil opposed to Aurgalu ( high in oxolates) and added oregano and chives. Easy to make - 1/3/13

  I have a bell pepper allergy so I omitted them and used broccoli instead. I'm a fairly decent cook, but this came out sour and too herb-heavy for my taste. Sorry, Chef, but this is a miss. - 8/26/12

  If you used dried thyme that might be the problem. Maybe try again and omit and use parsley instead. Chef Meg

  I like the idea of substituting shredded zucchini for the pasta - could use spaghetti squash in the fall. My husband is gluten intolerant so always looking for pasta substitutes - some are better than others.

  I used regular 2% milk, it's lower in sugars, sodium. The flavour just wasn't there for me. I added low sodium chicken broth to make it more Alfredo like, but the seasoning seemed way off - 6/4/13

  Very disappointing! Warned about its blandness by others, I added extra garlic, and a good dollop of salt, but it was still very bland, and what flavour it did have wasn't particularly pleasant. I only finished half of the portion, and the bit reserved for tomorrow is being binned. - 10/19/12

  Why does the photo look like artichoke and hardly any peppers? I also see mushrooms, but no pasta in the photo. I think the photo looks better than the recipe sounds. Would love the recipe for the photo. - 8/27/12

  This sounds absolutely delightful. I love goat cheese. Yum. I'm not sure what arugula is, however. Can you enlighten me? How about making recipes for ONE? That would be very helpful. - 7/1/12

  This recipe sounds delish but I also don't like goat cheese. I will be substituting jarred Alfredo sauce (70 cal. for 1/4 cup) and spinach for the arugula which is expensive and difficult to find in my area. - 7/1/12

  I used jarred roasted red peppers, spinach instead of arugula, 1/3c almond milk instead of evaporated milk, and no Parmesan. The taste is just okay. Nothing like alfredo. Maybe because I didn't use the right milk? Anyway, I don't think I will be trying this recipe again. - 1/9/15

  White gravy and parmesano cheese less calories with the same great flavors of my whipping cream and parmesano. Most important add the garlic a little lemon pepper. Keep the sauce seperated from the noodles to prevent absorption. Italian cooking is my favorite. - 1/11/13

  This was just OK to me. I don't consider it an alfredo sauce at all which was really disappointing to me because that is what attracted me to the receipe to begin with. My husband loved it, but I told him I won't put the time into making it again because it wasn't a "love" for me. - 9/17/13

  So sad to read the disappointing reviews. I had thought to try this as a sauce on pizza (with artichokes, probably would leave the rocket/arugula out). I will likely still give it a go. I, too, am grateful to see a recipe that isn't full of product placements :-) - 1/4/16
