Yummy! It's like the sauce on Red Lobster's Lobster Alfredo. Will make again, soon! I tried it again, but this time used the sauce for a Chicken and Brocolli lasagna. It was teriffic!

i thought this was deeelicious. added a few tbsp of fresh basil and a dash of crushed red pepper. next time will try adding sauteed red onion and peas. the portions worked out well for us ... plenty of sauce.

I had never tried making a creamy pasta anything, but this was GREAT! I added some stir-fry sliced chicken sauteed in garlic and my husband wanted to know when I'd be making it again. Thanks!

Just like the recipe title, this is creamy and garlicky... yum! I used chicken broth where there was an option and thought it tasted wonderful. This is quick, easy, and a great dish to make during the busy work week.
