Family loved it. Has the alfredo taste, but it a bit lighter, due to the ricotta. Excellent!

This turned out great. I did not think the texture was strange like some of the other reviewers. However it does need a little bit more flavor like more parm. cheese or garlic. Otherwise it was simple to make and I will probably make it again.

I made this with chicken instead of broccoli. It was ok, but not wonderful. We didn't really like the ricotta flavor with the noodles. I need to keep the ricotta mixtures with stuffed shells and lasagna!

It was creamy and had good texture, but it was lacking in the spice department. I thought it should have more flavor.

This was really bland. I even added some crushed fresh garlic and it still didn't taste good. It smelled wonderful, but it didn't taste at all like it smelled. I may try playing with it sand seeing if I can make it less bland. Maybe using cornstarch inseat of the roux and using more garlic and such.

I made this 2 hours ahead of meal time and put it into a covered corning dish. I heated it in the oven. The consistency was like a casserole - but way too many noodles for the 6 servings. Bland, bland, bland. Had to add salt and still did not like it.

A nice twist on alfredo! I did make a few modifications though. I substituted chicken broth for the butter, lowfat evaporated milk for the regular skim, and lowfat ricotta for the part-skim. I also added a hefty shake of white pepper. The consistency was smooth and perfect! Also, no need to steam the broccoli separately - just throw it in the pasta pot during the last 2-3 minutes of boiling.

This was quite good, but needed a little additional seasoning to be really great. Since my frozen broccoli "florets" were more like saplings, I served this on a bed of fettucine topped with a cooked chicken breast, then the broccoli on top of the chicken, topped with the sauce! It looked very pretty :)

I'm not sure the difference between two stars and three, but this recipe was pretty blah. The ricotta and flour DO give it a wierd consistency. I don't think the reviewer who "curdled" it actually did curdle it, that's just the way it turns out. Not a bad flavor, but I'm pretty sure I won't make it again.

This recipe took WAY longer than the 15 min. of prep that it mentioned, and was really not worth the wait. It tasted just ok I would say. The sauce was kind of a strange consistency. When I put the broccoli in the sauce, it all fell apart. If I were to make this again (which isnt probable), I would put the sauce on the noodles only, and then place the broccoli on top of the noodles.

We've been making this one for years and it almost always turns out perfectly. It is great with or without chicken and/or broccoli, most times we just make the sauce.

I'm not sure what I did, but I curdled the sauce. Despite that, we added quite a bit of Chicken Kassla (tastes almost like a ham chunk). Despite the chicken and broccoli, it still didnt have much flavour, although this definately could have been due to the curdling. I'm not sure if the lower fat was worth the result.

This was really tasty! My husband even liked it and that really surprised me! He said it tasted like cream of broccoli soup over fettuccine. My only changes to the recipe were using frozen broccoli and using a few shakes of dried parsley since we didn't have fresh. I will probably make this again, but I will toss the broccoli in the food processor to make it a less chunky sauce. Thank!

I tried this tonight and it was fantastic! I hae a quick feetucine recipe that I make a lot, but since I'm on a diet, I wanted something lower in fat and calories--this did the trick! I added some shrimp and a little more parmesan. Superb recipe, and a little goes a long way. Very filling.
