Introduction

My Gramma Willie taught me how to make this sauce years ago. It's the only way I make Alfredo now (though I use unsweetened soy milk instead of skim milk). Serve with grilled chicken, broccoli and pasta. My Gramma Willie taught me how to make this sauce years ago.

    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
