"This is a great, quick pasta dish that you can make in the time it takes to cook the pasta. If you like, you can use 1/2 cup non-fat yogurt and eliminate the half and half to cut the fat."

So easy and so tasty! I really like the fact that you can make the Walnut Alfredo Sauce in the time it takes to cook the fettucine. I had some left-over chicken so I tossed it in. I served this with grilled vegetables. Thanks for a great dish.
