This was ok but really needs some extra spice to give it a little flavor. I will use this as a base and play around with it since i think the basic idea is great!

I like to add a little more sauciness than what this recipe calls for, by using grated parmesan in conjunction with the flour, and adding extra milk. This makes for a thicker, richer sauce that coats all the noodles.

Have to give it 5 stars when it tastes this good and is this easy. I used marinated artichokes (which I think are packed in water with some oil and spices), and it tasted great. I went for the route of cooking up some garlic/onion in olive oil before making the sauce. Also added dried basil (no fresh) and a bit of oregano.

As others have mentioned, it's not really alfredo, but it's still really good. I omitted the flour and used heavy cream instead of milk and added minced fresh garlic and some sweet red pepper. This is a nice quick way to serve pasta. I will make this again.

Wouldn't really call it alfredo, but I'd call it good!

Not bad. Next time instead of adding the artichoke water I will add white wine. I did cook the onion first cause that is what I am used to...not really an alfredo sauce, but looking foward to the wine addition. It was lacking a little something.

I pureed all the vegetables in my processor because I like a smoother sauce. After pureeing, I simmered the sauce on the stove and added a little fat free evaporated milk. I didn't need any flour at all. It turned out great!

This was a great basic sauce but I did make a few changes that people might like: put a tbsp. of olive oil in a pan and saute 1-2 cloves of garlic until brown, add onions and saute until translucent. Then add mushrooms ( I added 2 cups), a small can of olives, chopped artichokes, and basil. I then added the flour and milk until sauce thickened. Then I added 2 cups of tomatoes (b/c I love them) and 1 tbsp. of italian herbs and 1 tbsp. of parmasean cheese. I served with angel hair and foccacia bread. It was delicious.

I absolutely love this recipe! Instead of the 2 tomatoes, which I don't always have on hand, I use a can of diced tomatoes. Yummy!

I don't even like alfredo sauce, but this is great! Probably because it's not creamy like you would think. It's light and flavorful...but definitely room for personaliztion!

This recipe is a good step in the right direction, but needed more oomph. I started by sauteeing the onion and a couple of cloves of garlic, then adding in the artichokes, milk, flour, etc. After adding the rest of the ingredients I tossed in some crushed red pepper. A good basic sauce on which to build!

I used fat free evaporated milk instead of the whole milk, works well. I love veggies also so I added green and red peppers also!! I put this sauce over spaghetti squash and it was great!! Very filling!!

Delicious. It is quick and easy to make. My boyfriend was very impressed. I found it to be lacking something in flavor, though. Otherwise a great recipe.

Love it! I was a little concerned as I was preparing the sauce that it didn't look very good, but once it started cooking up it looked and smelled delicious! It was a lot of work to make but worth it, and I'd make it again.
