"I created this recipe because DH cannot have milk, cream, or cream cheese. But he can have regular cheese. So, I had a hunk of fresh parmesan in the fridge, and an idea in my head. And this was the result."

~PAC Spring 2008~ DELICIOUS!!! I thought this recipe would be good but I didn't realize just how much. Wow. I really loved this mock chicken fettuccine alfredo recipe. It was so creamy and flavorful. The butter is a must...don't skimp there. I used regular grated parmesan cheese - a little less than 1/2 cup - and it was perfect. Simple to make and extremely satisfying.

GREAT!<br/>Actually, what you DID here is the more AUTHENTIC recipe for Alfredo. Like most of us DUMB Americans, we've been told/conditioned that Alfredo Sauce has cream in it. Thanks to Prego, Ragu, Francesco Rinaldi, restaurants like Perkin's, Denny's, Olive Garden and even some GOOD "Italian" restaurants. The ORIGINAL "Alfredo's Of Rome' recipe from 1914 was/is: I lb Fettuccine, 1/2 lb Butter, 1/2 lb Grated Parmagiano Cheese. THAT'S IT! NO CREAM! Yours isn't "Mock" at all!!!<br/>Bravo!
