Can I only give it five stars???? This is INCREDIBLE! I even made it with margarine and the canned parmesan (sorry), and it's amazing. I'm pretty sure I would just like to drink it, and skip those pesky noodles! I just melted the margarine in the pan with the cream and added the other ingredients, and wow, is it good. And so easy too. No wonder your son loves this so much. I do too! Edited to add: It does reheat well, just make sure to whisk the mixture well so that it gets creamy again. The graininess will go away. Great recipe!

I added bacon to make it more of a cream-style carbonara and it was fabulous! Served it over spagetti with garlic bread - Yum!

This was a good sauce. The family loved it (even the picky kids ate it). However, it isn't really a traditional alfredo sauce. The consistency is different, presumably because there is no flour or cornstarch in it to thicken it. Mine came out more like a buttered pasta with parmesan cheese mixed in. Tasted delicious, but not really alfredo.

More than five stars. My husband loves alfredo sauce, so the test was really for him. He just went to the store yesterday and got me the ingredients to make it a third time without me asking for them. Last time, I cooked some cubed chicken, mushrooms and capers in a tiny bit of oil, then poured the prepared alfredo over it and served it with penne pasta. It was so good I thought I could start my own restaurant!

Excellent, excellent recipe Marg!! This recipe is so easy to make and yields a thick, rich, delicious sauce. Sauteed 2 teaspoons Crushed Garlic in the butter then added 1 1/4 cups Heavy Cream, 1 cup Grated Parm/Romano and 1/2 teaspoon Course Ground Black Pepper. Grilled a boneless/skinless chicken breast on the George Foreman Grill, sliced it into strips, topped it on hot Angel Hair pasta tossed with EVOO then topped with the sauce. DELICIOUS!! (Tip: If the sauce is a little thin for your taste, just add more Parmesan Cheese or a tad bit of Shredded Italian Blend Cheese to thicken.)

This is a very delicious Alfredo sauce and very easy to make. I preferred the sauce a little thicker, though so I added a little cornstarch to thicken. It turned out perfect.

Loved this! So simple, easy to make, refrigerated leftovers worked great the next day. I added pesto once and it was perfect! This couldn't be a better basic recipe.

I doubled the recipe, and tossed with a 16 oz. box of low carb noodles. It was absolutely delicious!!! I let the sauce simmer for a few minutes before pouring onto the noodles. There are so many things you can add to this sauce to ring the changes. (Marg mentioned chicken, and reviewers gave other suggestions.) Thanks for posting this, Marg! (BTW, after looking at your fantastic photo, I decided not to add mine!!!)
