I cannot say enough good things about this recipe! I used fresh mushrooms and a lot less milk (1 cup only, because I didn't want the sauce to be as runny as it was with a previous Alfredo recipe that called for the same amount), but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. It was DELICIOUS! The sauce was creamy and with plenty of cheese taste, but not oily and greasy as similar recipes. I think that the sour cream made a HUGE difference in that, and also that the tomatoes sweetened the sauce, and prevented it from being too salty. This really isn't your usual creamy sauce that consists of cheese, cheese, and cheese, and that you get bored and guilty for eating! I am thrilled and amazed by the recipe, and I will continue to make it for many years to come. Thank you very much!

Delicious! I doubled the recipe because my family of six has a large appetite,so we had lots of leftovers that actually got ate. Keeper. Though I admit to leaving out the tomatoes.

That was absolutely the BEST alfredo I have had, in or out of restaurants. The entire family gave it rave reviews. I made two tiny changes: I added fresh broccoli and used mozzarella cheese with a sprinkling of cheddar (didn't have colby!), but I can't imagine it being better. The only change I will make is to use a little less Italian seasoning next time. I would like to taste more of the cheeses and less seasoning, but it was also great as is. Bless you for posting this recipe - I will never make another!

this was a really great recipe, a little questionable about using all that colby blend cheese and sour cream at first but it turned out really good, will make again

I love this recipe. The first time i made it i was kind of skeptical but when i tried it for the first time, any reservations i had were gone! My husband and i love the chicken alfredo from Olive Garden and this recipe comes very close!

I had my doubts, but this was a fantastic recipe and everyone loved it! I did omit the tomatoes, mushrooms, and used only 1/2 an onion, as we aren't big fans of those ingredients, but the sauce was divine.

I've been looking for a good Alfredo recipe for a while now and was impressed with this one. I made it for a house (Dorm)-warming party and it was a big hit for all of my friends. Thanks!

It may have been my error but I personally did not like the finish product. However, my family disagrees with me. Sauce wasn't thick enough and the taste was just slightly off.

This is an absolutely awesome recipe!!! My opinion...tastes every bit as good as restaurant alfredo and VERY easy to make. Just make sure you have all the ingredients measured out and ready before starting.

Great Recipe. I subtract the salt to let the cheeses give more flavor. You can use fat-free sour cream and fat-free half and half to reduce fat/calories...they also help thin the sauce.

Definitely too much milk. Too creamy, too cheesy.

This was really good. I added too much cheese and flour because the alfredo sauce seemed really thin at first, but when it got thick, it got thick fast and it ended up being too thick. I still really liked it, but my husband thought it would be better a little thinner. Flavor was outstanding. I added broccoli instead of tomatoes, but that was the only real change. YUM!

This was great. Only change I made was substituting shrimp for chicken and that made it even easier and quicker. The rest of the recipe I even measured to make exactly. ( rarely do that and tend to eyeball) but to be fair I measured. Was very good. I did prep all ingredients ahead of time to make it quicker to actually cook but there really isn't much prepping here. I purchased a pound of cooked shrimp (31-40 count size) and when everything was done I tossed those in the sauce at the same time as the tomatoes, drained the pasta and mixed together. It was just enough time to heat the shrimp and tomatoes w/o cooking them much. Very good. I made this for my husband and parents for my mom's birthday. Everyone loved it. Keeper. Thanks for the recipe.

Yummm!!! It tastes AMAZING. I followed the recipe as closely as I could. Omitted the italian seasoning, mushroom (used olives), tomato, half n half and used mild cheddar instead of Jack-Colby. I don't think it needs salt. The sauce was creamy and delicious. It was a little grainy, but I guess that's cos of my inexperience and not the recipe. Im surely going to try it again... this time with some oregano and spice.
