This is the greatest creamy spaghetti recipe I have ever had. A fantastic seafood Alfredo can be made by adding prawns and/or scallops.

Very good. I added broccoli and mushrooms I will make it again!
This recipe is AMAZING. I did jazz it up with my own touches.. but it is good.. seriously.. make it….
Very delicious. I tweaked it a bit by using 2% instead of heavy cream because that’s all I had and I added some cayenne. Super delicious. A bit too salty for me but I guess it’s because of the chicken broth. Either way really enjoyed it and will make it again. I also used tiny shells instead of spaghetti just because of a preference.
I love this recipe because it’s easy, delicious, and uses only 1 pan. I’m frying lobster tails with a flour/rice flour breading to go with this. I added 2 tablespoons of white wine and 1/4 cup minced shallots. FANTASTIC!
3 cups of broth didn’t have enough time to cook down. Next time, would reduce the broth before adding the pasta; it was too runny and the cheese lumped up in the sauce.
Delicious! I added mozzarella cheese as well. Dropped in some seasoned chicken and it was a huge hit!
This dish is awsome!
I made this for dinner tonight and I really liked it. I thought it was fantastic. Plain and simple but packed with flavor.
Loved it! Just used fettuccini instead of spaghetti because it is what I had. Also used half and half instead of heavy cream. Added some shrimps, extra garlic and pepper flakes to give it a extra kick. Will make again. Very easy to make. Next time I think I will add some broccoli.
My family thought it was beyond Restaurant quality! They loved it. I made garlic shrimp, garlic chicken and filet on the side. Amazing and a new staple in our house !
Added Muffuletta olive salad which added a extra flavor. Also added 1 tbs of pepper. Made it again with chicken dark meat which neither my wife nor I were big fans.
Loved it! Just used fetuccinni instead of spaghetti because it is what I had. Also used half and half instead of heavy cream. Will make it again and add fresh mushrooms.
This recipe was so easy to make in minutes and was delicious! We added some garlic bread to the side! Want to try with chicken next time!
Perfect and now one of my families “go to” recipes. Add grilled chicken or eat as is, either way it’s great. I have even tried with other pasta, yummy each time.
Made it as per the recipe. Perfect! I would not change a thing. Maybe add a little more pepper, and the next time, I may add some fresh mushrooms!
Excellent. Didn’t change a thing
It was great. Yes I added about 1tsp of curry and more garlic. It turned out to be delicious. I also added the chicken stock to the original sauce of the garlic chicken I cooked then added the stock and pasta. Cooked it down added the parmesan and cream and slowed the cook for 15mins and served. Delicious.
I enjoyed making this , it was not only easy to make, it was delicious; so much so, I made it again but this time adding sautéed garlic shrimp and OMG! It was even better.
This was very one note: garlic. Super garlic-y and nothing else. I added dill and tarragon and a dash of cayenne, just to try to add some flavor. Also a bit of mirin, to add some acid. Overall, very disappointing. If we make again we’ll saute some cherry tomatoes in the beginning with the garlic, maybe add some greens at the end. BTW, to avoid scorching the garlic you should add it to the pan while still cold and slowly bring the heat up. As soon as the garlic begins to sizzle add the butter.
Came together really quickly. Had to make a couple of substitutions lacking some ingredients. Linguini, basil and better than bouillon vegetable. Served it under leftover chicken thighs. Great recipe.
wow….followed the recipe in detail…amazing. this is my one of my new ‘go-to’s
