Quick and very easy but not a do over. My crew couldn't get excited about this recipe. Pepper was fine but it just didn't have much flavor. Very basic and boring.

Sara (Texas) replies:

Just wanted to add that for a stronger richer flavor, be sure to grate fresh high quality Parmesan rather than any pre-shredded or grated type. Also, as strange as it sounds, I add some grated nutmeg and it really sets off the flavor for me. Just a bit, not as to overpower it.

Cathy (New Jersey) says:

I just made this and the taste is great, but it is very grainy and not creamy smooth like I think it should be. What did I do wrong?

Susan (New York) replies:

As a previous reviewer stated you must use a high quality fresh Parmesan. I melt the butter with the garlic, do not brown either. Add the heavy cream, I use a pint, once that is warm I add the parm. a little at a time. Stir almost constantly to keep it smooth and together.

Lucy (Texas) replies:

Cathy, well first its a good idea to use fresh Parm/cheese. And when you are adding the cheese into the milk you should turn off the heat right after adding it. If you don't you can cause it to clump up, and that's where you might be getting your grainy taste from. When your fully done blending it in you can turn the heat on again but this time leave it on low just to keep it warm. Hoped I helped.

Great easy recipe. Cheap too if you use grated parm (I got at shoprite for Great easy recipe. Cheap too if you use graded parm (I got at shoprite for $1.49 on sale). I've made it with fresh parm also and both ways are great! Tonight I fried up a chicken breast in butter and garlic, sliced it and added it to the sauce... it turned out really well, and added some good flavor... 49 on sale).

Karen (United States) says:

I made this with a few changes. Fat Free half and half, a combination of asiago, parmesan and romano cheeses and 8 ounces of chopped proscuitto.
Very good, but I think I would add all the milk and cheese prior to adding the noodles as with the noodles my arms got tired of stirring.
