Delicious! Next time I will make more sauce for the pasta -- not enough for my family's taste.

This was so easy to make, and it was delicious. Instead of carrots I made it with shrimp!

Wonderfully easy, great flavor. I added shrimp, green onions, and used ramano cheese instead of the parmesan. However, I think it's probably great as written.

A M A Z I N G! This was sooo easy to make and taste way better than resturant alfredo! I used all ingredients besides the nutmeg b/c we didn't have any but it still tasted the same! Had to mess w/ the measurments though for my taste but it was still great. Cooked the chicken in EVOO and added garlic and other spices to it then threw it in w/ cooked pasta and added a lot of flavor to the noodles. Love it!!

This was a super easy, delicious weeknight meal. I added sautéed shrimp, doubled the garlic powder and nutmeg, and topped with mozzarella cheese. Also used egg noodles instead of the fresh fettuccine because that's what I had in the pantry, but it was great anyway.
