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.

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.
