Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo
"Thick and Creamy! The sauce is just like the tasty alfredo sauces in italian restaurants. Easy and very well flavored. We enjoy this quite often either with shrimp or chicken. The bits of a plum tomato on top blends well with the creamy sauce and adds flavor. A pretty and wonderful dish!!!"

This is not my idea of an alfredo sauce. The taste of cream cheese overwhelms all other ingredients... and I like cream cheese. If you want melted cream cheese on your pasta, you might like this. Otherwise I would suggest trying a different recipe, our even alfredo sauce from a jar. -
This recipe gets 5 stars for ease of preparation and taste all the way! We loved it. I added a little salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste, and it was good to go! We had freshly baked whole wheat Italian bread along with it and it was a meal to write home about! Just delicious!

I am retired from being a paralegal and a real estate agent. I have also been a substitute teacher for the elementary grades in the public school system.

I like Taste of Home magazine and I am a big fan of foodnetworkTV. I am a southern girl and enjoy comfort foods!!! I am a big cookbook collector and have been for years.
