Expert Tips

Mmm, Alfredo! But without all the fat? Sure! Just substitute evaporated fat-free milk for the whipping cream and use a reduced-fat Parmesan cheese blend to slash the fat in half.

Make it even heartier. This rich pasta dish becomes the base for other flavorful dishes when you add cut-up cooked poultry, meat and veggies. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs.

Grilled chicken breast, cut into strips, makes a great addition to this dish.

Sauté uncooked deveined peeled shrimp with garlic and a little seafood seasoning, then toss with the sauce and fettuccine.

Made this the other night with my boyfriend. It was FABULOUS. Totally out of this world delicious. I doubled the ingredients to make a thicker sauce. I also used unsalted butter per everyone's suggestions. Also added 1/8 tsp of garlic powder. Also helped if you totally melted the butter, then added the heavy whipping cream. Seriously SO easy.

This recipe works perfectly every time. My son LOVES it. I am wondering, though why people think it's doesn't have enough sauce? I think just the opposite. I actually add more pasta for that reason.
