I make my alfredo sauce with evaporated milk from the pantry instead of fresh cream from the supermarket. My family enjoys this convenient and delicious sauce often. They claim to like it even better than restaurant alfredo sauce! I hope you'll also enjoy it.

This was good in a pinch. I thought I had some alfredo sauce and when I went to make my "usual" sauce, I didn't have any cream. I followed the recipe exactly as written but I didn't add any of the optional ingredients but used it in Easy Pasta Con Broccoli

    This worked out beautifully with my homemade pasta. I never have cream around but usually have evaporated milk. This recipe is being added to my collection of favorites.

    SUPER quick to make, creamy and wonderfully flavoursome. I used reduced fat milks (which were creamy enough), and when sautéing the mushrooms I added 4 cloves of minced garlic and a teaspoon of thyme. I added a drained can of pink salmon in step 6, and served this yummy alfredo sauce over angel hair pasta. Great recipe. Thank you for sharing it.

    This was delicious! I used it in http://www.recipezaar.com/111797 and it was amazing! The next day, I had leftovers, and I used it as a sandwich spread on a basic sandwich (turkey & romaine on spinach/feta foccacia), and it was DELICIOUS. It worked great as a sandwich spread due to the combination of great taste and texture. I'll definitely be making this in the future!
