Expert Tips

Fat-free evaporated milk is commonly sold in cans with other canned milk products such as sweetened condensed milk.

Looking for an easy way to dress up this classic dish? Simply stir in cooked shrimp with the evaporated fat-free milk and serve with freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges.

Avoid those pasta boil-overs: After water comes to a boil and you add the pasta, cover the saucepan and turn off the heat. (Pasta should be thoroughly covered with water at this point.) Let stand about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice; drain.

To make this dish even faster, buy refrigerated fettuccine. Most kinds are ready in just a few minutes.

This was so yummy! I came here looking for an alfredo sauce recipe after seeing a pasta selection on the menu at Marie Calendar's on Saturday. The following is from their website description: "Chicken & Broccoli Fettuccine Grilled chicken breast atop fresh broccoli, fettuccine noodles, tossed in a parmesan, romano, asiago alfredo sauce." Mine looked just like the photo on their menu. And I'm sure theirs couldn't have tasted any better than mine!
