This alfredo is great just a little lighter than before. Not as rich but still so tasty. Great when served with whole wheat noodles.

QUICK AND EASY MUSHROOM ALFREDO SAUCE
This is by no means healthy, but it sure is yummy. Also very simple to make! It is very easy to personalize ingredients also... sometimes we add ground italian sausage, green pepper, onions, or mushroom.

EASY, QUICK, AND BEST ALFREDO SAUCE
This sauce is fantastic and easy to make. A friend shared this recipe, and now it is the only one I use. The cream cheese is the secret, and it makes the sauce rich and delicious. It is not for people on a diet, and I make this for special occassions. My family is always requesting this sauce. My family loves rich food, and this recipe definitely meets that criteria. If you don't like your alfredo sauce to rich, I would suggest using another recipe or using regular milk. This is the best sauce I have ever had, so enjoy!

QUICK VEGAN PESTO ALFREDO SAUCE
Healthiest alternative to alfredo and it's easy to make. Just blend ingredients together and heat. I adapted this from my Creamy Vegan Pesto Pasta with Broccoli (Recipe #241451) to a simpler recipe. Tried it today with my Walnut Meatballs (Recipe #239125) and it tasted terrific! My husband has always been an alfredo lover and we both love the added taste of pesto in this creamy sauce (I don't think it would taste as good without the pesto). Hard to believe it's as good for you as it is! My husband also likes to sprinkle some parmesean cheese in the sauce. Though not vegan anymore it does taste great with it still being much healthier than most creamy sauces.
