After reading reviews, I switched out the spaghetti sauce and made Knorr Parma Rosa sauce, as well as using Knorr Alfredo sauce, as I don't care for the bottled Alfredo. I added a bit more garlic and we really liked the red pepper flakes. This turned out excellent and will definitely make again.

This is good. It turned out very creamy. I left out the shrimp because I didn't have any. It's a new favorite at our house.

Absolutely scrumptious. This has become a family favourite. I had a bottle of rose sauce, so I used that instead of spaghetti sauce. The second time I made it, I used the spaghetti sauce. Everyone agreed that the rose sauce gave the dish a much better flavour.

I will definitely be making this again! It was so delicious and simple and quick to make. The hubby even liked it and he isn't a fan of shrimp that isn't breaded and deep fried! Plus it tastes just as good the next day.

This was fantastic! We substituted the alfredo sauce with Tomato and Basil flavored Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cooking Creme and had splendid results! It was so full of flavor and tasty! Even my daughters loved it! This will be making another appearance on my supper table soon!
