Oh my goodness, was this every awesome. I read all the suggestions and made my own variations. I used 1/4 cup of pasta water, and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. I also bought the Parmesan, Romand & Asiago cheese made by Kraft that is already grated. We live at least 1 hour away from the nearest Olive Garden, and this is the closest alfredo sauce I can find that tastes anything like it. Thank you for posting it. You made my day. -
It was good and quick....if I made it again I would probably add some mushrooms and maybe some spinach. But overall it was good, a belly filler, and quick. -
Made this for dinner last night. It was good, but needed a little something, so I added some garlic salt for more flavor. I also added a little oregano to taste. It was a very QUICK dish to make. From start to finish, I had it on the table in 20 minutes.
