I’m in love.
I absolutely LOVED this quick and easy meal. I’ve made a lot of Alfredo fettuccine that took forever to fix and weren’t close to being as wonderful as this one. Who would know this simple meal would be what I make from now own?

Thank you so much!
Perfecto! Easy and quick dinner the whole family LOVED!!! I made exactly as written except I added a pinch of nutmeg, a little garlic powder, and instead of fettuccine I used one pound of Cavatappi pasta, and added steamed chopped broccoli at the end for a one dish meal. Had to use a little pasta water to stretch the sauce with my additions, so next time I will increase the sauce by 50% -we like lots of sauce!
Be sure to not let the sauce come to a boil or your sauce (butter & cream) could separate.

I did not make this dish but I know what I am making for dinner
To enhance this dish I cook mushrooms and either green pepper or frozen peas in garlic oil with a dash of white wine then add this mixture to the pasta and cream sauce with a dash of nutmeg. Cubed Italian ham can also be added to the cooked mixtue.
Very good especially second day too. I always like to watch your show too
10 Star Rating, easy, easy and so delicious, I make this often and am so happy I found this recipe, Ree is truly genuis, no mess to clean up! Thank you for sharing.
EXCELLENT AND EASY!
I love this recipe. The only thing I do differently is, I now use 1 1/2 cups parmesan and 1/2 cup Parmigiano reggiano. The flavor is rich and makes for an unbelievable sauce for dipping breadsticks too!
My husband followed the directions but the cheese clumped and we never had such a mess to clean up. Would not use this recipe again. we have made alfredo many times, and never was it like this
Great recipe! I stopped using store bought sauces years ago..it takes minutes to do your own. I add a tsp. of chicken bouillon base or a bouillon cube and lil garlic while melting butter.
