Notes
~TIPS~
Use your favorite vegetables! I love broccoli and fresh tomatoes!
If Alfredo sauce is too thin, let it simmer uncovered or let it stand. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
If Alfredo sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little chicken broth or reserved pasta water.
Jazz up the Alfredo sauce with mushrooms or fresh minced onion!
