"I had a rich pasta dish similar to this at a restaurant," recalls Dana Simmons of Lancaster, Ohio. " It was so unique that i tried to duplicate it at home a few days later. This is remarkably close, but not as fussy because it uses ready-made ingredients rather than being made from scratch."

I'm new to the cooking thing as a brand-new stay-at-home-dad and as is the case with every recipe ToH I've tried so far, this was a smash hit AND super-easy to make! Thanks!

Probably one of the best things I have made. I changed the "frozen" spinach to fresh and cooked it a little bit in some olive oil and it was great! Love this and will make again again!!

Amazing! My husband and youngest don't like chicken Alfredo & this is now one of their favorite meals.

Excellent flavor. My boyfriend compared it to Olive Garden! I suggest adding more Alfredo sauce next time to make it more creamy.

Everytime I make this the family loves it! I have even used bow tie pasta, the kids like that better than the fettuccine.
