This recipe is the best! I only make it 1-2 times/month because of the fat content, but my family loves it. I give them a choice of either homemade mac and cheese, or homemade alfredo. They choose the alfredo every time! I usually double the recipe and use a pound of shell pasta, it's easier for the kiddos to eat. I use the shredded parmesan that comes in the bags...the recipe says 1 1/2 cups and the bag is only 1 1/4 cups...but it always works out. I use a wire whisk and it usually takes about 5 minutes or so to melt all the way. It is a very quick sauce. Just make sure your water for the pasta is boiling before you start the sauce...otherwise you will be "tasting" the sauce by the spoonfuls while you are waiting for the pasta to cook! :)
