This was rather boring...really not very flavorful.

I used leftover rotisserie chicken. It was great.

465 calories, 14 g fat, and over 500 mg sodium?! I thought this was supposed to be HEALTHY! You know what, I'll just make it myself. I bet fat free milk, low fat half-and-half, reduced sodium bacon, and skipping the cornstarch would make it edible. Seriously, who's gonna get full on just 1 cup? I was gonna make this for a friend of mine with Gout, but no way now. WAY too much salt!

This is misleading!This should NOT be in the healthycategory!!!! The key word in the write up is it is a HEALTHIER, not healthy, version.(I can just imagine the fat/calorie/sodium content in the original recipe!)I bet it is yummy, but it is not a healthy choice.

I don't know anyone who only eats 1 cup of any kind of pasta!! That's a lot of calories for such a small portion.

Sorry but regular turkey bacon has more sodium than pork bacon, read the labels to compare but this does sound good, I will be trying it.

My milk curdled. And even with the bacon, this lacked flavor. Bummed because the recipe looked really good.

I would make it...but not as it is. It would be much healthier if you used skim milk and fat free half and half. Maybe even use turkey bacon with less sodium.

This was wonderful, I took leftovers to my in-laws and now they want the recipe! I like that it is a healthier version of the usual alfredo.

I didn't have any half and half or 2% milk,used all Fat Free Milk. The taste was amazing,will make this dish again and again!

Overall, I thought this was quite good. I used whole grain (51% whole wheat) thin spaghetti noodles instead of fettucine. I cut back on the cornstarch, as the other person suggested but I don't think it was necessary. Also, if the 1/2 and 1/2 is added while the milk is still cold (as the recipe indicates), it won't curdle.

Recipe did not let an beginner know to heat the cream slightly before adding to milk. Not doing this could cause your sauce to "break" or curdle. I might recommend reducing cornstarch by 1/3, sauce was very thick.
