I only gave this four stars because if I hadn't added my own adjustments this would have tasted somewhat bland to me. Here is what I changed and added. I cut the cream cheese to 1/2 cup and added 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan. I added much more garlic salt than a pinch (but I love garlic salt) and I added salt and pepper to taste as well. With my adjustments I just loved this recipe and it's extremely easy to make which means I will make it again and again.

I thought it was delicious! I did not think it was really creamy, but that may have been because i used 1/3 fat cream cheese. I would definately make this again!

A family favorite!!! I blend the ingredients first before putting it in a pan, that way I don't get any clots. Great recipe!

This was delish!! I added about a cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese, and used fresh garlic. Also added sundried tomatoes. My husband went on and on about how good it was!!

I made it almost exactly as said and my whole family LOVED it...I did finely chop a ton of broccoli and added chicken and the kids couldn't even taste the broccoli, all 5 of them! It's hard to find a recipe everyone will eat and this one did it! Thanks!

This had entirely too much cream cheese and that is all I could taste in it. There is no way this OG recipe, don't know if that's the one indicated as the popular chain but there is not way it could be. OG has garlic and nutmeg in it, the nutmeg is that nice hint of flavor at the end. Thanks for the recipe but we didn't like it.

The sauce wouldnt mix well. It had to much butter and tasted to much like the cream cheese.

This was alright. I'm not a huge fan of alfredo, but it was the only thing I had all of the ingredients on hand for and I couldn't eat meat (Friday during lent), so I decided to give it a try. It was a little too cream cheesy for my taste. I love cream cheese, but in a hot pasta dish, not so much.

Very good flavor. Only problem (may have been the cook) but the cream cheese was lumpy. I bought a generic kind because the reg kind was over $2. Maybe next time I will get the kind I usually use???

I made this recipe as is and it was excellent. The only thing wrong was something I did...I put the sauce on the pasta too far ahead of serving it and it sort of all got absorbed into the pasta. It would be best to pour the sauce on immediately before serving.

I have made this a few times now and found the best way is to add 2-3 cloves of garlic, some black pepper and a few pinches of fresh nutmeg.

We didn't think this had enough flavor. Or sauce. Will need to double the recipe. We do want to try this again with a twist somehow. We didn't have any cream cheese so we used grated cheese instead. Served it with grilled chicken and garlic bread.

Easy to make. Kind of bland though. My kids liked it when I topped it with shrimp scampi. Very hard to find things they will eat, so that was a plus. Very cream cheesy.

I run an after shool program and our kids cook one day a week. We made this last night and it was a hit! The kids wanted to go back for seconds and thirds!!! We only altered the recipe in that we added less cream cheese and used heavy cream instead of half and half. Also, we used smaller noodles. It was delicious!!!! Thank you!

This really was a good recipe. We changed a few things though. We used 1/2 cup of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup of 2% milk instead of cream, 1 Tablespoon flour, 1 tsp fresh minced garlic instead of garlic salt, salt and pepper to taste instead of lemon pepper. It turned out very good! Thanks for the recipe!

I thougth this was a little greasy and heavy. The ingredients were right, but I changed it to make it more figure friendly. The first batch I made according to the recipe, it was greasy and kept separating. The second batch was much better, and lower fat and calories too! For the second batch I used half the butter and a light cream cheese. I melted them in a sauce pan and then added flour to make a roux. I allowed that to cook for a few minutes to eliminate the floury taste. Then, I added skim, yes skim!, milk and parmesan and garlic. Seriously, this version went over better with the fam than the first! (And I'll feel better serving them this alfredo more often!)
