What a sad name for such a great starter recipe. I used Newman's jarred alfredo sauce and hot fettucini noodles instead of a packaged noodle mix. I did saute some fresh garlic, sliced onions, a sliced red pepper and fresh mushrooms (instead of canned) before adding the rest of the ingredients. I sprinkled each helping with parmesan cheese. Sick as I am, this was the best thing I'd had in days. I don't think I'd use canned asparagus next time, I'd use fresh. I think I'd add a little italian seasoning next time, too. Great starter recipe with pantry items for a quick dinner.

Husband loved it! Had to make a few substitutions. Didn't have the Alfredo noodle package, so used egg noodles and alfredo sauce, and used regular diced tomatoes, didn't have any italian style on hand. Was still very good and will definitely make again. Husband agrees w/other reviewers that it would be better w/fresh asparagus and mushrooms. Delicious and easy recipe!

it sounded a little strange at first, but it got such good reviews i thought i'd try it. i'm glad i did! it was really good! it was a little bland so i might try some of the other reviewers ideas next time. it's deffinately a keeper. i just wish the name wasn't so negative. lol. by my figuring, it's 7 weight watcher's flex points per serving.

This was pretty good and very easy. I did use fresh asparagus because I had some, but otherwise followed the recipe. I actually thought it could have used more pasta...in the future I might use a larger package or just make my own. But a good idea for a quick dinner. Thanks for sharing!

I used fresh veggies and a jar of alfredo. It was good and everyone liked it but it didn't warm up well for leftovers...

I changed the recipe a bit for some freshness. I used a Frescarini wholemeal alfredo pasta and sauce mix, but used fresh asparagus, mushrooms and tomatoes. I also added some zucchini. This was lovely and creamy, and the vegetables helped to balance out the richness of the dish. I was overall really impressed with this dish, even though the name makes me feel sad.

I rated this 4 stars for the simplicity. It was good. Hubby liked it even though he doesn't really like asparagus. I will try it again but substitute brocoli for asparagus and add some bacon, just a personal preference.

I was looking for a simple chicken recipe and chose this one since I had all ingredients accept the alfredo noodles. When I went to the store to get the alfredo mix, I didn't know exactly what the recipe called for as "pkg of alfredo sause egg noodle mix" is a bit confusing. I figured I could go with alfredo sauce and fettuccine noodles when I came across the Lipton Noodle alfredo pkg (or you can you Pasta Roni). This was a really quick meal and very tasty. I put frozen asparagus (my boyfriend doesn't care for canned) and also added frozen broccoli to the water for the noodles (just in case I didn't like the asparagus. I did leave out the mushrooms though. It turned out great! My 10 yr old daughter was skeptical about the asparagus, she doesn't care for it either, but she told me to make sure to put in the review that she loved it!!
