This recipe is easy, but gives enough punch to feel like it takes a long time. Per another reviewer's instructions, I added a cube of chx bouillon to the milk. The KEY to thickening the sauce is to heat it on the lowest setting, stirring rarely. It'll take 10 minutes or so. I added maybe 1/8 tsp corn starch as well. Had no onions, so used onion powder, and added lots of dried parsley. Delicious.

It was easy and after reading some reviews I did add white whine to the onions/garlic. seasoned with salt and pepper. I also added diced tomatoes because I like my Alfredo with it.

As others have stated, this recipe was a great base/starting point. I began to make the sauce then realized we only had whole wheat flour. The texture was not as smooth but it was ideal for healthier cooking. I also added a bruscetta seasoning to add more flavor and a dash of white wine. I used imitation crab, frozen shrimp and scallops and it was not bad at all!

This was a great starting point. I needed a vehicle for the Dungeness crab we bought off the boat. We super charged the recipe by substituting or adding: 1) Dungeness crab. 2)Tabasco 3)Some half and half 4)Finely diced red pepper 5)Lemon juice

I fixed this recipe EXACTLY per the directions (the only time I think they should be reviewed is when the recipe is followed). My family ate this but it wasn't very good. My husband hated it. My pickiest daughter that HATES any type of "white sauce" thought it was good, but nobody else cared for it. If you are looking for a recipe similar to the crab lingine you get at Red Lobster, this is not it.

i used real crab meat, added spinach (had some to use up), squeezed fresh lemon juice, and sprinkled fresh cracked pepper on top. would have been too bland otherwise. nice base to work with. went well w/ a salad w/ white balsamic/honey/dijon vinaigrette.

Awesome! You wouldn't think it was easy because it is SO good! My hubby said it was a bit too garlicy for him - but I didn't think so. We've made it a couple of times now and delish every time! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful quick and easy "elegant" meal. I served it with garlic bread and whole wheat spaghettini. The reason that I gave this only four stars was because we found the sauce to be a bit pasty. I would make this again though. Our family gobbled it up...even our picky one! lol

Made exactly how the recipe listed. Too much milk made the sauce very thin and runny. Did the submitter forget to list any seasonings? I added salt and pepper and at least tasted MUCH better than the original. Will not make again, but kudos for your efforts.
