I love this one and come back to it time and time again. Thanks for a wicked good and speedy recipe--in fact the only online recipe I've ever used "as is"! It does make a lot, so if you are just cooking for one be sure to downsize, as Alfredo doesn't reheat well.

Absolutey delicious. One MUST use good quality Parmesan, or as one reviewer suggested Parmesan Reggiano. I DOUBLED this EXCEPT I kept the pasta to 1.5 LBS instead of 2. PERFECT!

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.
