I've been looking for a healthier way to make a white sauce and this recipe was PERFECT!!! I love the idea of substituting chicken broth for butter. Delicious!

Absolutely amazing! YUM Great taste without the guilt. I made this as suggested: without the onions, increase garlic cloves to 3 -4. Also, added chicken tenders while sautéing garlic in butter.

I use peas instead of broccoli. I also highly suggest adding some crumbled bacon. Delicious!

Good stuff....my favorite part was that I had everything on hand. Added Chicken and served with a green salad. Yummy. Did have to end up adding more flour though.

This recipe was pretty good. After reading all the reviews about it not getting thick quickly, I decided to add one more tablespoon of flour and one tablespoon or cornstarch. I also added red pepper flakes and much more garlic. It was pretty good!

Well I liked my version - lol! I added chicken which I browned first with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Made the sauce with fat free half and half, made a roux with som eoil and the flour in with my onion/garlic mixture before adding the liquids. I added the broccoli in with my pasts (penne) and also some sliced dry packed sun dried tomatoes. Nice meal.

This was pretty good. We also made it with peas instead of broccoli because that's all I had.. but I have been wanting to have Alfredo without using cream cheese.. etc. This was yummy. It did take forever to thicken.. shoulda read the reviews before I made it.. but I used some corn starch and a little extra flour and things worked out.

I made this for my girlfriend and I for each of us to take to work during the week. We both loved it, and it's a money saver too. I used 4 cloves of garlic rather than 1, as some people suggested, and also minced the onion and garlic in the food processor.

I'm sorry, but I guess I'm in the minority on the reviews for this recipe! Our family thought it was pretty tasteless (the sauce). I found it difficult to thicken and had to add more flour than called for. We wanted more of a substantial meal so I added some pre-cooked (Perdue) chicken. No matter...nothing seemed to help this recipe! I know it's supposed to be light, but there has to be something more to this sauce! I will continue to look for a light(er) version of alfredo!
