I altered my mother’s recipe for fettuccine Alfredo to produce this dish. I only receive compliments when I prepare this dish. Every time he makes fettuccine Alfredo, my partner scrapes the pan. This dish is not for the health-conscious, I must tell you!

I love this sauce; I add crumbled cooked Bacon to it and it’s just wonderful. I mean how can you go wrong with cream, butter, cheese and Bacon!
Simple and Delicious . Who could ask for more . Thank u
Quick, easy, minimal ingredients and absolutely delicious. I used a few cloves of fresh diced garlic rather than powdered.
I love ❤️ this recipe, it’s simple and taste good. I have used it so many times. I do add a little something extra for my taste. It’s great
This recipe is the closest to the recipe that I was taught when I had my culinary training that I have seen on sites such as this. You and your family and guests will be delighted at first taste.
Made it twice now. The first time I didn’t have romano cheese and just used parmesan. It turned out ok. Made the second batch with all the ingredients and was awesome. I cooked everything and just added the hot Alfredo sauce to the cooked pasta in bowls and my wife and mother in law loved it. Thank you for the recipe!
I really like this recipe! Used all ingredients as listed, but cut the ingredients amount in half. Just needed a side dish for event and still had plenty.
I used only 1/2 cup of butter. Delicious!!
Omgosh. This was so delicious. Easiest recipe ever. So quick and few ingredients. Love, love , love it. Leftovers were just as yummy. ❤️❤️
Absolutely amazing recipe! Definitely only use one stick of butter and I used one cup of heavy cream. Cooked chicken in the crockpot coated with Italian seasoning and pepper and added broccoli florets and it it was better than Olive Garden
Best we have had…Always make this recipe
This is amazing! The whole family loves it and it’s so easy. I add chicken and broccoli!
Very easy, very tasty! I did cut out 4 tablespoons of butter and it was just fine.
Everything she says is true. Everything. Follow this one exactly, and you’ll be glad you did.
I’m making it now and got confused about the ¾ pint of heavy cream… hope it means the same as 1½ cups…
It was the bomb!!
Way to much butter. I added one stick and did 2.5 cups of heavy cream instead also added broccoli and chicken.
too much butter which made it watery. I had so much hope for this recipe. my kids love pasta, but not this one.
It really was to die for!! tried this before and i cant stop making it!
I agree too much butter. I’m Sicilian and have making this for over 30 years. I use 1 stick of butter, melted in a 12″ fry pan over med to low heat. Add 16 ounces of par cooked fettuccine noodles and mix to coat butter over all noodles. The important part is getting Imported Parmesan cheese, not domestic. I use half & half in stead of heavy cream. In the frying pan after noodles are coated with melted butter pour enough half & half to almost cover them. Bring to a low boil mixing constantly. Shut heat off, add cheeses a little at a time while mixing, freshly ground pepper/nutmeg. You need to shut the heat so you don’t add too much cheese and make a paste. Mangia!
Note to self, read the reviews. Not to die for. Too much butter. Maybe 1/2 cup? Reheated the next day and poured off the melted butter that had separated itself. It helped but still too buttery. Added shrimp. The Romano/Parmesan mix was good. Still looking for that perfect Fettuccine Alfredo recipe.
