Fettuccine Alfredo

Fettuccine Alfredo
This Trader Giotto's frozen pasta is a staple at our house. It comes in 16 oz bags of little nests of fettucine and frozen sauce disks that I call "magic flavor pellets."

Your first thought is that Alfredo is heart attack on a plate. Well, it is cream, cheese and butter, after all. Each serving (3 per bag) according to the packaging does has 370 calories, 25g of fat (8g saturated) and 95mg of cholesterol. Typical Alfredo sauce. The beauty of this Fettuccine Alfredo, however, is that you are in complete control of how heavy or light to make the sauce. You can use all or some of the flavor pellets to significantly cut down on the fat and calories and keep the nice Alfredo flavor. In fact, I microwave a few nests at a time with about 1 pellet per pasta nest and it's delicious. When the pasta is gone, I am sometimes left with a dozen or more sauce pellets.

Like I mentioned, this pasta tastes great zapped in the microwave and you are in complete control of the portions. One little pasta nest and flavor pellet also make a quick and yummy side for kids' meals.

Good flavor, but only makes about two servings with lots of cheese pellets left over. Not worth it to me.

Has anyone noticed that the Fettuccine Alfredo tastes completely different now?? It tastes like cheap macaroni and cheese. It used to be thick and creamy now it tastes watered down. TJ claims nothing has changed. Even my husband noticed a difference. It was the best thing there. One good thing.. I've lost 5 lbs since the change!!!

this is one of my many favs!
Add some salt , pepper, fresh garlic, with garlic bread on the side and its AMAZING!!!
I DONT MICROWAVE IT!
STOVE TOP BABY
This pasta is excellent. Try adding chicken breast strips, shrimp and or other seafood. It rivals or exceeds what you get in most restaraunts.

I look at this EVERY TIME i go to Trader Joe's (and I go once a week...) I saw a college kid grab 6 bags and toss them into his cart... it MUST be good...

Purchased this for the first time last night. I agree with some reviewers that this makes for a great base... we added broccoli to ours. Will buy again. However, wish that the package came with more pasta!
