My fiance and I both enjoyed this dish and I'll certainly make it again. Next time I will add some more seasonings to flavor it up a bit more.

Very good, my family really enjoyed. Everyone had a second helping. I added a little more flavor to mine by topping it with some old bay seasoning. Very tasty!

I made this recipe at the beach for me and my boyfriend. I thought it turned out very well, and my boyfriend ate 2 servings for dinner, as well as another for lunch the next day! It was easy to make as well. I substituted penne for the fettucine, and it was great.

I use canned no salt added diced tomatoes, throw in a couple cloves of garlic and the roasted red pepper philly. If I want it a bit creamier, I use more cream cheese. I have also used too much cream cheese and then thinned it with a splash of white wine.... all in all a pretty tasty recipe.

I loved this recipe. I changed it up with chicken and used large shell noodles and my family went crazy for this. This is better that using the alfredo packet with better flavor.

3 starts for me having to fix a few things. added a clove of garlic, onions, salt, pepper to shrimp marinade, another clove, salt, pepper (to taste), about 1/2 cup milk (to half recipe) to the sauce. in my opinion, all these recipes tend to be kinda bland. really good for ideas but would not follow it verbatim and expect greatness, but that's just my opinion...
