This turned out very good, although it was very rich. I may use a little milk to thin out the sauce next time. My husband likes his with some chicken, I like mine just as it's written. It's hard to find recipes that can be made for just 2 people without a ton of leftovers (we like leftovers, but too many will spoil before we can finish them all.) We actually got 3 servings out of this recipe (dinner for the 2 of us the first night and lunch for my husband the following day.) Will definitely be making again.

Although I did change a couple things, I love this recipe! I had never made a white sauce before and found it to be pretty darn easy! Others like this one called for flour, so I added a little, which worked out great. I also was trying to emulate a garlic sauce my kids love, so instead of nutmeg I used garlic salt, and this also worked well. Increased bacon, and made the sauce in bacon pan, to increase the flavor- yummm! My 3 year old had 3 helpings!

Yummy and delicious! It got the boyfriend's approval. We didn't have any nutmeg on hand, so we used garlic instead. I will definitely make this one again.

Very quick and easy, very tasty! Sounded good as-written but I added some mushrooms, broccoli, Roma tomatoes, and garlic that I sauteed with the grease from the bacon. I used fat free half-&-half, black pepper (didn't have white), and used a little bit of pumpkin pie spice because I didn't have straight nutmeg.

I increased this to feed our family and it was great. A few changes to accomodate what I had on hand: I had no cream so instead I used 2% milk, so after melting the butter, I added a few pinches of flour to ensure I'd have a thicker sauce. I used regular black pepper and threw in some crushed red pepper for kick and left out the nutmeg. Whole family enjoyed this and I love how easy and quick it was to throw together. Thanks!

As it was, i didn't think that there was enough sauce. I made it with the bacon and didn't like it, so i left it out this time and used chicken. Instead of cream i used half and half. I Also added garlic because i love garlic, and i took out the nutmeg. I also like a lot of cheese in things like this, so i added about a cup and a half this time. I made it for my bf and he loved it! I'm so glad that i found this recipe, but next time i don't think i will use any kind of meat. It was really easy to make, it looked fanch and it was delicious.

Very good but I thought there was little to much parmesan as it soaked up all the cream sauce and made it dry. Next time I will double the sauce ingredients and add some Articokes, chicken, fresh mushrooms, and maybe some sun dried tomatoes. Will be scrumptious.

It's an okay recipe, but there's something definitely...wrong with it. For one, there definitely wasn't enough cream, either that, or it'd be better to use half and half. Also, there's a bit too much white pepper and nutmeg, because that's all I can taste, and no, I didn't put in any extra.

I really liked the flavor, but it could have had some chicken or shrimp to give it some umf! My husband didn't like it well as I did, but I will be making it again! I will just be sure to add some chicken. I've decided that I think alfredo as a whole needs chicken b/c it's just too blah by itself.

I made this tonight and my bf and i took one bite and threw it all away. This was not good at all. I added shrimp and broccoli and it was still not good. The nutmeg gave it a very strange taste. I will not be making this again and do no recommend this at all. Nutmeg belongs in pumpkin pie, not pasta.

This was delicious! I made the recipe exactly as stated and my husband and I both loved it. I was surprised that white pepper and nutmeg were so flavorful together. Next time I'll probably try adding some asparagus like a previous review suggested-- you could also add shrimp, chicken, or mushrooms... I think any of those things would be tasty in this pasta. Just be careful you don't use too much linguini or the pasta will be slightly on the dry side. We will definitely be making this again!

Simply Amazing! We love this dish so very much. I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon and I generally use 3-4x as much as the recipe calls for. Yummm!
