This is pretty good with a few touches. I wish I could give 3.5 stars, but since it's an easy fix I'll round it up to 4. First, as others stated, there is hardly enough sauce and it seems rather dry. Definitely cover with foil and remove the foil for the last few minutes to brown the cheese on top, and either use less pasta or make a little more sauce. I also added garlic, sliced mushrooms, and frozen peas. I served with sauteed chicken and a green salad for a nice little dinner.

This is an easy way to serve fettuccine for dinner if you are having guests and want to make it ahead of time. I made mine in the morning and refrigerated until 30 mins before baking. I let it sit on the counter for 30 mins and then baked it for 45-50 mins. I liked it, and all my guests did, too. It was a tiny bit dry so next time I plan on increasing the sauce a bit.

It was really good, but reading reviews before I cooked it kinda helped. I kept it covered with foil while baking and topped it with baked, crumbled pancetta with also doubling the sauce. I added 2 cloves minced garlic with the onions and added 1 tableapoon parsley. Turned out really really good! Thank you for the recipe!

I cook for a very picky and sometimes critical eaters. However, last night from the top critic....Delicious, thumbs up and its a keeper!Usually I get just a TASTY! Per usual I read other reviews first and made adjustments: I added a few strips of crumbled cooked bacon. Added 2 cloves of garlic to the onions and sauteed in the bacon fat. Added half the bacon,pepper flakes,and a dash of garlic powder to cream mixture and thickened on low. In a casserole dish I added the pasta to the sauce in several pours.(Otherwise too little sauce,I did not use all of the pasta). Sprinkled with remaining bacon and topped with cheese mixture and parsley. Will surely double the sauce next time!

i sautéed chopped onion, minced garlic, and some sliced mushrooms in butter and olive oil. then added one cup of fat free half & half and one cup of milk along with the cheeses. in addition to the black pepper, i also added ground nutmeg and some white wine. fresh thyme would also go well in this dish. poured in the baking dish over the noodles and some fresh peas. with these additions, it was no longer bland!

Very good! I wasn't sure if it'd be bland, based on other reviews, so I added lots of parmesean cheese, minced garlic, salt and pepper. I really, really liked it! I would suggest adding grilled chicken, peas and spinich (or maybe even asparagus)to give it some more flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a keeper. I have made this recipe several times and my family loves eating it. I add a little parsley to the top and use only freshly grated cheese.

I used this recipe as a starter, I used milk instead of heavy cream. Then to cook it I covered it with foil which kept it from drying out.

It was a little dry- I followed others' suggestions and upped the amount of heavy cream and also used 2 cloves of garlic. I think next time I might just double the sauce recipe for the amount of pasta recommended. Thanks for sharing!
