Hi, my husband accidentally purchased fat-free half and half - has anyone used fat-free half and half for this recipe? Does it still work/taste good? Please let me know. I'd really like to not waste it and use it for this, but if it won't work with the recipe, then yes I will go buy a new one. Please give me your input/suggestions. Thanks!

I have to admit..the easiest and tastiest!I used fat free 1/2 and 1/2 and decreased the h2o to 1/4 cup to make up for the fact that the fat free stuff usually doesn't thicken as much as real 1/2 and 1/2.I also threw some roasted garlic in the milk as it was coming to temp and I used a mix of half parm cheese and half shredded Parrano (its similar to parm and regiano but perhaps a tad bit smokey in flavor...we love it on everything).My hubby loved it and asked for it again tomorrow!Thanks for a good one!

Wow! This was super easy, yet tasted heavenly. I was feeling lazy, so I just threw the butter in the saucepan after the bullion dissolved. Added some chopped garlic, then whisked in the flour. Used heavy cream b/c that's what I had in the fridge. I poured the sauce over the cooked pasta, then mixed it all up in a giant bowl. Plated and topped with broccoli and spicy sauteed chicken breast chunks. This sauce was the perfect complement to the heat of the chicken. Thanks for sharing, Ana. Will use this again and again!

Very yummy! Big hit with DH and the fam. Made a few changes - used margarine instead of butter, and instead of using 2 cups of cream, I used 1 cup cream and 1 cup of milk. Served with grilled chicken, pasta, and steamed veggies. Turned out great! Thanks for such a good, quick recipe. Will definitely make this again.

This is a great recipe. I added 1/2 cup goat cheese and asiago instead of parmesan cheese. Also, I used chicken broth in place of the bouillon. It was absolutely delicious! We had it served over fettucini noodles and with cut up chicken thighs that were left overs. Cracked fresh pepper topped it off. Thanks! I am glad that I found this recipe. Jelly

My daughter and I made lasagna roll ups for dinner and topped it with this sauce. It was great! And I agree the chicken boullion gives it a bit more flavor. I, too, used milk instead of cream (gotta cut the fat and calories where you can) and it turned out just fine. Thanks for a great recipe .. it's a keeper indeed.
