This was just perfect!!! Thanks to Mean Chef for posting! Flavor and consistency were exactly what I would expect from a true alfredo sauce and sooooo simple to make! BF was a way happy camper! Make this one exactly as the recipe states and you'll have a great meal!

Very easy to make, not to mention tasty and filling too. Liked the black pepper and nutmeg additions. This was enough for 3 servings, served with a specialty garlic bread and a mixed green salad.

Excellent recipe. I left out the nutmeg because my husband is allergic to it, and it was still terrific. I bet this would really be awesome with some mushrooms and chicken thrown in, or mushrooms and shrimp/scallops. Yum.
