This recipe is INCREDIBLE!!! I googled it from my cell phone randomly one afternoon when I was planning to make dinner for someone I was newly dating in a pinch and it blew us both away!!! I will keep it handy to make often-it's great. Thank you!

This was an awesome recipe. My whole family loved it even my picky eater. I didn't have heavy cream so I substituted table cream and it was great.

After makling this recipe for a couple months now, I have made a couple of tweaks in the recipe to create the PERFECT alfredo sauce. Firstly always use shredded parmesan, this may be harder to melt, so when I first put the cheese in, I take the heat up to a boil, then quickly reduce it so the cheese doesn't burn. Also I do not use the entire stick of butter, I take off about one tblsp. If not the sauce will not be thick enough. Last but not least, I add one tblsp. of sour cream. I also suggest using oragnic half and half as it has much more flavor. In my opinion this is the best alfredo sauce I've ever had, and my husband would have to agree!

Absolutely DELICIOUS, simple to make and not time consuming! Tip: Don't use fresh mozzarella packed in water as the sauce will not thicken properly. Also, the sauce doesn't reheat very well (but is still tasty); the butter tends to separate from the cheese when reheating. BUT any leftover sauce chills nicely into a smooth consistency and is quite wonderful as a cheese spread the next day! I could not stop slathering it on my garlic bread! mmmmmm....
