Homemade Alfredo Sauce
"A recipe from Fast Fix Family Food Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. In the description it's written : A little cornstarch in this sauce keeps it from curdling after it thaws and helps it reheat to a nice, creamy consistency - perfect for pasta!"

I thought this was a little bland so I doubled the pepper & added 1/2 tsp of salt. I'm not a big fan of garlic so I did reduce the amount used. Served over yolk-free wheat egg noodles. Made for Ramadan Tag 2010 -
I used this Alfredo Sauce to make Annacia's recipe #181153 and it turned out wonderfuly. Thanks for sharing your recipe. -
I made this exactly as posted, and served this up to 3 teenage boys and myself. I loved how easy this was to make, and I love that it can be frozen for future use (haven't done that yet!). The overall consensus was that I should have reduced the nutmeg, and that it was a little bit runny. I'd like to give it 4 1/2 stars....I didn't mind the nutmeg, but thought the sauce should have been thicker. A easy fix! Overall, the taste is very good. Thanks for sharing! -
From my 11 year old "This is awesome mom". I didn't add the nutmeg as I didn't have any. I also didn't follow the directions exactly. I combined all the ingredients together (I didn't cook the garlic before adding and I only added one teaspoon instead of two) so I didn't add the olive oil. I had some spaghetti in the freezer (not sure how much it was) so thawed that and added it to the hot mixture. We all really enjoyed this and I was told I can make this again - even for lunch!
