    Fettuccine Alfredo is so one of my favourite Pasta dishes. Being on Weight Watchers for a few months now I have not made the dish in awhile. I like your recipe and I will try it the next time I make Fettuccine Alfredo, thank you for sharing.

    Hi Deb,
    I too love Fettuccine Alfredo but it is definitely a once a year splurge!! ( I went to Weight Watchers too…they have a wonderful program!!)

      Megan, this recipe is so easy and turns out perfectly every time! my only caution would be that it is best eaten on the day it’s made…not usually a problem!!!
