Excellent simple recipe. I doubled the amount of cheese because I love parmesan cheese, and I added a little nutmeg and pepper. I also left out the hot sauce because I'm a wimp...but it really hits the spot and isn't nearly as unhealthy as fettucine alfredo from a restaurant.

I love this! I was a little skeptical tasting it but the flavors really good! I love garlic so I added lots more and more cheese. I might have used a cup instead of a half. Also, I left the hot sauce out and added shrimp and mushrooms. What a great meal! I can't wait to share the leftovers with the people I work with that live in the dorms. They'll love it!

This was great. I used evaporated milk and heavy cream with the regular milk when I tried it(low on milk at the time). Also added a dash of nutmeg to enhance the cream. Used olive oil in place of the butter for that authentic flavor. As I had no fresh garlic(and I'm not good at prepping it), I used garlic salt. A quick way to add vegetables to this dish is to boil them along with the pasta(used peas when I tried it). I added roasted chicken to the sauce: yum. The next time I use this recipe, I'm trying garlic powder--that will do a better job of replacing the minced garlic than the salt did for me. And I definitely recommend cream, but that's my personal preference.

This was pretty good! Not restaurant quality- but very good for a quick fix with things that I always have on hand. I sauteed the butter and flour for just a minute together before adding the milk (whisking it the whole time so I didn't have any lumps in my sauce). I also added garlic salt and LOTS of freshly ground black pepper since some reviewers found the sauce bland. And, I used probably 3/4 C. or 1 C. parmesan cheese. I will definitely make this again.

this way not very good. It resembled paper mache paste. It lacked flavor, and was just not very good at all.

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised at how well this turned out. It was really easy, although you have to make sure that while it is thickening you keep stirring/whisking the bottom of the saucepan so that it doesn't get lumpy--which can get a little bit tricky if you are juggling boiling pasta, a grilling chicken breast, and the sauce! It only got four stars because it was a little on the bland side for my taste, but I will definitely make it again and just experiment a little bit to liven it up.

I'm a college student with not much time on my hands, and this recipe was perfect for that! I did doctor the recipe a little bit because the sauce was too bland. I recommend using a little garlic powder, salt, seasoning salt, and pepper throughout to give it some more flavor. Other than that it was great! I served it with steamed broccoli and garlic bread. Everybody who ate it loved it! Thanks!

Excellent sauce!!! I was a little skeptical of the hot sauce but it added some excellent flavor and was not overly noticeable. I didn't have any minced garlic so I used some garlic salt and added a little pepper too. Also, used shredded parmesan cheese instead of grated and it took a while to melt but it was well worth it.

This was a wonderful, easy recipe for Fettuccini Alfredo! My husband absolutely loved it, and I thought it was great as well! Our suggestions: We also started out by sautéing the garlic in butter before adding the flour. We halved the recipe (made it for two) and added a little less butter and more milk until we got the consistency we wanted. This helped to thin out the sauce (it started out a bit thick for our taste) and also cut down on the fat a bit! We grilled some boneless skinless chicken breasts and chopped them into strips and added those to the pasta after the noodles had already been coated with the sauce (there is not a ton of sauce and if you add the chicken first, they will soak up all the sauce and leave none for the noodles!). This was a very, very simple recipe and I highly recommend it!

I was looking for an economical version of Alfredo sauce to prepare for a large reception. I made this to test it, and I am impressed. This is delicious! I will make this often!

This is a simple, classic recipe and an old standby that I can play with depending upon what I have in my pantry. I followed one suggestion and sauteed the garlic and red pepper flakes before adding an extra bit of olive oil and the flour, and making the roux. Then I added the butter (I used soy margarine) and stirred, and then the milk (I used skim) and stirred. I brought the mixture just to a boil (and as suggested, watch it carefully! milk boils fast!) to incorporate the oil (beforehand, the oil had been floating on top...) before adding the Parmesan (and I used plain ol' powdered Kraft in the can, and I'm not sure I even had 1/2 C). I tasted as I went, and the red pepper flakes gave it a lovely zing so I omitted the hot sauce. Mine was more grainy than "velvety" (probably because of the powdered Parm) but it thickened nicely. I used it over 2 packages of fresh ravioli, broccoli flowerettes and salad shrimp. Lovely!

This recipe is great. I made it this weekend for my boyfriend and he ate almost the entire thing. It's definitely a keeper! I did add more garlic and some basil at the end. Also, I added cooked chicken breast. It was great!

This recipe was very good and super easy! It took less time to make the sauce then it did to boil the noodles. It was a little thick, but it may have been that it simmered too long while I waited for the noodles to finish.

I made this for lunch just now for my father and sister. It was very good. And I'm a slow cook, and I got it done in 15-20 minutes, from the time I started getting everything together until it was on the plate. I'm glad I found a recipe that is really easy and doesn't take much time... And it wasn't even lumpy (I cannot make gravy)!!! Next time I will add some more seasoning, like Oregano and Parsely...
