Fettuccine Alfredo

Unfortunately, my sauce never thickened so it was quite soupy. Although I liked the flavors of this dish, and truly enjoyed the zucchini, this really doesn't substitute for a real FA.

Picky boyfriend actually liked this! My BF does not eat much aside from pretty plain meat, corn, green beans. He does not like herbs, spices and seasonings as a general rule. I was very shocked when he tried a very small portion of this and then went back for seconds! He even ate the zucchini, which he claims to NOT like. I had some trouble with the broth evaporating a great deal before the garlic was done. I ended up adding another 1/4 cup of broth to make up the difference. I think I'll try mincing my garlic next time, to speed up the simmer time and save the broth. I will definitely be making this again! I am on Weight Watchers and I absolutely love Fettuccini Alfredo and have been really bummed about not being able to eat more than about a 1/4 cup of it and not feeling very satisfied. This was a fabulous substitute! I didn't feel cheated at all and ate the full serving! Pros: Healthy, Very Tasty!, Excellent Subsitute! Cons: Had difficulty with the broth boiling out before the garlic was done.

My picky kids loved it! I was a little nervous about making this dish. My kids turn their nose up at anything green, so I wasn't sure if the zucchini would pass the kid test. I have been making regular fettuccine alfredo for years so I thought my family would be begging for the real thing back. To my surprise my whole family loved it!!! My 7 yr old literally licked his bowl clean! I have been trying to find traditional foods made into healthier versions, this recipe really hits the mark! I added grilled chicken to make it a whole meal.

Yummy! I also used a garlic press instead of the whole cloves; MUCH easier! I actually used more garlic and black pepper...we added poached boneless chicken breast and had a FABULOUS meal! OMGosh, we haven't eaten Fettuccine Alfredo in 7 years, and this was better than any we remember having!! Really a very delicious dish! Oh, and I also splurged on some really great Italian Parm/Reggiano (didn't use the pre-shredded stuff). Great flavor & mouth feel!! Pros: Easy, delicious, low-cal Cons: Basic recipe needed tweaking...

Very Yum! This was nice and easy to make (directions are a little vauge though). It was creamy and filling enough to satisfy my craving for this normally unhealthy dish. Since I don't really eat chicken, I added Quorn tenders and it was perfect! Pros: Creamy & Satisfying Cons: Didn't read the blender tip. Make sure to read that!!

A wonderful healthy twist to the inner fat-kid favorite. My husband and I loved this and will make again frequently.Pros: Fast and easyCons: Needs a bit more flavor

Mimics alfredo sauce This is an excellent, light sauce. I have an easier way to make it--forget the blender. Start out by pressing the garlic in a garlic press, add to the broth and cook for about five minutes. Then stir in the cornstarch mixture and thicken. Finally, take off the heat and whisk in the cheese and finally the light sour cream. If this stands too long it will "thin out." If that happens to you--as it did to me--add another 2 tablespoons of cornstarch thinned in water and GENTLY simmer until the sauce thickens. I did not make the rest of the recipe, although it sounds great. I used the sauce for spinach pasta that I bought at the store. Pros: easy to make Cons: sauce separates when it stands

My husband & I loved this! Unfortunately, I used my new blender for the first time and got hot liquid all over myself and the kitchen. I also did not have corn starch and used a flour and water mixture. It needed a lot of salt as well. But it was sooo good! Oh my gosh. I love it so much!

This was really yummy! I didn't have sour cream, so I substituted by using fat free plain yogurt, and it worked well! Made twice the amount since I have a family of 4. Being the only vegetarian in the home, my entire family LOVED it! Will make this again for sure!

My family of 5, which includes 3 hungry boys (2 teens & a preteen) enjoyed this recipe- which means a lot since they all LOVE the real thing. I didn't have zucchini on hand but I added some chicken and salt. They also voted for rigatoni, so I used that.
