This was a nice, thick sauce with yummy flavor. I did find it a tad salty (but we eat very little salt). I added extra half and half to loosen it up a bit. Was delicious with some cooked chicken over whole wheat noodles!

Extremely creamy and rich with great flavor. I used several cloves of fresh chopped garlic instead of the garlic powder and whipping cream instead of half and half. Served it over fettucini as a primavera, with grilled chicken breast and steamed garden vegetables. It was DELICIOUS! Thanks for a great recipe.

I have made this for myself a number of times now and each time it tastes great. I haven't made any substitutions except milk if I didn't have 1/2 and 1/2, the cream cheese allows the sauce to remain thick. I'm sure fresh garlic would be great as well but it's the simplicity of this dish that keeps me coming back. Thank You for your recipe
