the nutmeg is brutal in this recipe.

We found this recipe very bland. I added 3 cloves garlic, a sweet onion, a dash of cayenne, but could find nothing to perk it up. I love to eat healthy but I love it to taste good. Very disappointed.

I also added baby spinach to pasta right after draining pasta water and also added a can of crab meat to the sauce, really tasty

This was very tasty and satisfied my never ending craving for alfredo (which I never give in to....until now!). I did make some alterations though: I omitted nutmeg and instead added a bunch of garlic (yum!) and found the sauce really runny, so I added another tsp of flour. Then once I had mixed the sauce and noodles, I cooked them together over med-high heat for a few minutes (stirring constantly) just to bind it together and thicken the sauce. Turned out great!

Favorite recipe. Super heart healthy and easy to make. Sauce is ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta. Add brocoli and carrots.

Nov. '11: Made this tonight. Not very good. Tastes too much like nutmeg. Will not make again. Use the jar stuff instead.

Make sure if you are a vegetarian to use VEGETARIAN Vegetable Broth. Just because it says Vegetable broth, doesnt mean it is vegetarian. I have found that out in many cases, such as some soups that you assume to be vegetarian.

This was easy to make, and very tasty! I added spinach leaves to the pasta for the last minute it cooked, and also added red/orange peppers and mushrooms to sauce.

It was very rich in flavour. Hard on the stomach.
