This was really very good! I was skeptical because of the sour cream, but since I didn't have heavy cream in the house, I tried this. It came together and tasted great! I like the twang of the sour cream, and I added 1 cup of parmesan cheese (the bottled kind). With real parmesan cheese, I can see this having a deeper taste, but bottled was all I had on hand. I love that this has less butter, so the end result was creamy w/o the added oil. But because of maybe that lack of extra oil, I had to thin the sauce a little bit (I like my alfredo sauce a little thinner than most). I used soy creamer (yes!), but you could have used half and half or milk. I added extra cracked pepper instead of crushed red pepper flakes and threw in a 1/4 tsp of finely chopped onion because I had to use it up. Very tasty! I had shrimp, bacon and peas over capellini with this sauce and it was just right! My oldest son loved it, my sister took home the leftovers! Definitely going in the tried and true cookbook.

So good! and So easy! Late last night my boyfriend was hungry - with limited ingredients in the fridge he was going to just eat butter noodles. I kicked him out of the kitchen and whipped up some pasta, this alfredo sauce, and reheated some left over breakfast sausages he had made a few days earlier. I used some chili powder, cracked pepper, and some herbed grilling seasoning to season it instead of the crushed red pepper. The result was soo good I licked the spoon while he finished his bowl of noodles!
