I have made this sauce several times without any added ingredients and it has always turned out perfect and a success with guests. Now, I do always use freshly grated parmesan. Recipe suggests shrimp, crab or mushrooms, but I love chicken alfredo, so I always make grilled chicken breast to top it off with. See photo. Excellent and simple recipe!

This was an easy quick recipe. My husband thought I had spent quite a bit of time working on it. Perfect considering I normally do. It was nice to relax some.

I only had the pre-grated Kraft cheese, and it still turned out quite good. Even my teen boys liked it. Be sure to use a whisk and add the cheese slowly to prevent clumping. I took the advice of the other reviews, and added a very little nutmeg, and a little garlic (powder). I poured mine over meat filled tortellini. Delish!

This recipe, by far, is the B-E-S-T alfredo sauce I have ever had! I have never tried to make it, before now, but I will prepare it again and again after this. I did add a dash of basil which proved to be wonderful!! For those contemplating this recipe....you HAVE to make it. it was AWESOME!!!

This is a really good recipe and lends itself to improvisation. I had a last minute crisis, thawed chicken with no ingredients for the usual dishes and a family that had to get out the door thus =improv... 1/2 eggnog-1/2 milk. I tried the suggested nutmeg, actually, it was still quite good.

This is better than the sauces I have bought at the store. I was quite delighted how my teenager was able to make it so tasty.
Guest: CaliChick 2007-05-13
This Recipe was Great U make it for my mom on mothers Day and She loves it.I added mini Shrimps and Crab.You might want to add a little less cheese ten what they say!
Guest: Northern Warrior 2007-04-20
Really very good. Added fresh garlic to mine, and that did it for me! If you think there's too much parm, you must be american. :-) Try some Romano, or other milder cheeses...

The sauce was wonderful very simple to make and I had fun doing it by the time I was done I felt like an Italian chef prepared my meal.
