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.

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...
