A creamy and comforting cheese sauce, with a hint of pepper and nutmeg, coats fettuccine noodles in fine fashion. "This is wonderful as is, but sometimes I like to add sliced fresh mushrooms and black olives that have been sauteed in butter and garlic," notes Jo Gray from Park City, Montana.

I loved this recipe. It's easy and quick to make. But the butter in always separates from the sauce. it's still tasted really good, but there is a puddle of butter on the bottom of my plate. What can I do from that not happening next time?

I didn't make it as written, I used it as the base for an awesome one pot pasta dish last night.First fry good quality bacon until crisp and remove, leaving the drippings. Add a whole onion, sliced thinly and cook until browned, slightly. Add brocolli crowns and stir fry until tender crisp. Sprinkle a bit of crused red pepper flakes. Make recipe as written, and then stir in bacon/brocolli in, at the end. Yumm.

I used whole milk instead of heavy cream because thats what I had, and I was looking for a quick and easy supper. I think that it would have been better had I used the cream, but the flavor was great, and supper wasn't a total flop. I will make it again, though I don't think I can fairly rate it because of the milk.

This is the best Alfredo Sauce and so easy to make! I used the grated Parmesan/Romano blend and added a little sprinkle of garlic powder. Absolutely perfect served over tortellini. Sinfully delicious!

This is the best alfredo sauce I have ever made! I made it using only parmesan (I didn't have Romano) but it turned out delicious. If you are looking for an easy alternative to jarred sauce, or even take out, this is it. I use more pasta than the recipe calls for because there is plenty of sauce. Unless I am adding grilled shrimp or chicken both of which are great on this dish! 5 stars!

Wow! This sauce is soooo good. As a compliment to this recipe, my husband said I can't buy store bought alfredo sauce anymore. It was super easy to make. I actually made the sauce the night before and refrigerated it then warmed it up in the microwave the next day. I topped it with fresh mushrooms sauted in butter and chicken seasoned with salt and pepper. It was delicious!!

My son loves alfredo sauce and this is one of his favorites. I added garlic powder and grilled chicken to this and it only made it better.
