Normally I would say it's not worth the effort but since I can't really eat the creamy stuff in regular alfredo, I would make this again. I did put in lemon pepper as well as add extra parmesan cheese. It did take awhile to thicken up and I did put in an extra tablespoon of flour because I was worried it wouldn't thicken up. The sauce was pretty good but not awesome.

Good but a little bland. I added some red pepper flakes at the end, 2 tablespoons of half and half and more garlic. might try adding some lemon juice next time. also added shrimp and it was delicious. Thank you!

We loved this recipe. I added a little extra garlic and some frozen spinach. I found it very easy to make. I highly reccommend it!

We loved this pasta dish! It is one of my favorites! I will add chicken next time (my husband doesn't think something is a meal unless there is a meat in it!)

Thought this was pretty good for a light recipe. I added peas and chicken instead of the broccoli. Kids liked it too. Will make again, but next time I'll figure out how to use less pots!

I thought this was pretty good. In general I think alfredo sauce doesn't taste like much more than butter and cream. This wasn't too different. I did make a few changes. I didn't want to use so many pots so first I started the pasta. While that was going I sauted the onion, garlic and oil. When that was limp to golden brown I added the flour. I stirred that until it was all blended then added the liquid. For liquid I used a can of evaporated skim milk, a can of water and a teaspoon of chicken broth base which would be like chicken boullion. I added the pepper and a dash of cayenne pepper too. When that came to a boil I added the cheese. My kids liked it and I thought it was good. I'm not a fussy eater just happy when my kids eat without complaining.

I only used the sauce from this recipe but it was pretty good. I have made it a couple of times and always have a problem getting it as thick as I wanted but other than that it is great.

Yum. You really need ALOT of patience for this. I kinda changed things a tad bit. I completely omitted the first step with the onion,garlic,oil mix. Decided to make a roux with equal parts butter and flour, then the milk and broth. Seasoned with garlic,pepper,very little salt, and a pinch of nutmeg.After stirring for awhile, I ended up adding some cornstarch to help it thicken. Used a mixture of romano and parmesean. We ate this with shrimp and roasted red peppers. Needless to say,it came pretty close too the real thing without all the guilt.

This was a decent sauce but it took forever to thicken. I substituted the broccoli for chopped fresh mushrooms and used 2% milk in place of the skim. I also served it over spaghetti instead of fettuccine.

I've never been a fan of alfredo sauce, and so this light (flavour and calorie) version was perfect. i did add some extra seasoning, paprika/nutmeg/cayenne as others suggested, which really helped the flavour. And it did use a lot of pots and dishes..not my favourite, but I would make it again.

Unfortunately, I just didn't like this recipe. Took too much time for a below average sauce. The texture was gluey, and the flavor was pretty bland, even though I added extra garlic. Not really comparable to Alfredo sauce. Plus, it used 3 pots! Just not worth it at all.

Great! I love alfredo but not that it's fattening. I found this sauce to be a little different from alfredo.

Quick & easy recipe. I would double the salt and add additional spices/herbs to give it more taste. Overall it was good. Next time I will add more seasonings and possibly some mushrooms and I would be able to give it 5 stars! Will be using again and again. Thanks.

This was fantastic. I will never use butter and cream again! I actually liked it better becuase it was not as heavy and didn't leave me with a stomach ache after. Will use for a chicken spinach alfredo lasagne. Thanks so much.
