4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. fresh nutmeg

This is easy, and my family loves it. I use veg broth and add it to thin sauce if needed. I am sharing with a friend now!

Substituted 1/8 cup white wine vinegar and 1/8 cup water for the wine, 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried basil for the parsley, and added 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. C'est magnifique!

Meh. The sherry was over-powering. Kids didn't like it very much. Used ground nutmeg instead of fresh, and that was fine... disappointed in the sherry aspect. Next time I will just use more chicken broth. Thickness was perfect.

Worked really well, even my hubby liked it, and he never likes pasta. Very forgiving - I've tried it with all sorts of substitutions and additions and everything works!

 Nicole Koehn (Texas) says:
Very delicious! I used straight Romano cheese in place of the Italian cheese mix and used whipping cream which made it quite rich and thick but very tasty! I eliminated the nutmeg because of one of the previous comments and I am happy I did. I will continue to use this recipe!

 Alexis (Georgia) says:
Delicious!!!!!!! The only thing I would do is take out the nutmeg... The flavor of it kept making me think if apple pie.... Overall very good!!!!!!

This Alfredo Sauce is amazing great. I used Veggie Broth instead of Chix. I am so excited for dinner. I am putting it inside of spinach and cheese lazanga..

Very good recipe! I used whole milk and I excluded the wine because I didn't have any. I also substituted ground nutmeg for fresh. Served over bow-tie noodles with cooked cubed chicken breast that I had leftover from the night before. I am looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow! Hubby was hesitant since he's not a fan of alfredo sauce, but even he approved.
