Cream cheese and milk replace the heavy cream in this classic, velvety smooth pasta sauce flavored with Parmesan cheese.
Special Extra
Prepare as directed, heating 1 pkg. (6 oz.) OSCAR MAYER Grilled or Italian Style Chicken Breast Strips with the sauce before tossing with the pasta.
I substituted the regular cream cheese with neufachel (reduced fat) cream cheese. Not only did it bring the overall fat content down, but I couldn't really tell a difference. I also used 1 percent milk for another low fat option. I didn't know if skim would give me the right consistency or not, so I stuck with 1 percent.
Most of the other alfredo recipes I've tried used heavy cream. This one was pretty good overall for a healthier and pretty easy recipe. Not the best alfredo I've had, but good for the amount of effort to make.

This was a very easy recipe and very quick. I didn't have much time, and I don't like to cook often, but this was easy. A little more milk to make it a little creamier because it seems creamy when you are making the sauce but once it is mixed with the pasta it is a little dryer than it should be. And a little garlic salt mixed in with the garlic powder can help also... Overall, I'll make it again and next time it will be better!

My suggestion would be to add just a bit more milk to make it a bit creamer!

Great recipe, and yea a little more milk makes it better. As for the med student down towards the bottom of the page, no where on the recipe title does it say it is a healthy meal!! You should pay attention to what you read before making comments!!

I cooked this for my girlfriend (a med student) and I and it was real good. The med student that wrote a review earlier needs to learn something called substitution....something the brainiac economists (myself) are familiar with. I used skim milk and fat free cream cheese and it turned out very good.
