A bit think. Maybe add less flour - 01 May 2015
I loved this. Added salt & pepper. Didn't have half & half so used 1-and-a-1/2 cups of milk and kept everything else the same. Great flavor and consistency. - 29 Jul 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This sauces turned out great. Had to make something quck when I got home and realized I had l not purchased bottled alfredo sauce. We made it with fat free half and half and light paPamresan cheese and it worked out great. I did add a touch more garglic salt and regular salt and pepper. - 20 Apr 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
