A low-fat alternative to a traditional Alfredo sauce. I add chicken, most of the time, to make it a complete meal!

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces fettuccini pasta
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons butter

Just okay. The sauce was a bit bland and the broccoli was a bit soggy. I'll probably try a different recipe next time.

Amazing!!! This dish is a must-try. The combination of ricotta, Parmesan, and garlic creates a sauce that is to die for.

Good, but not great. The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste and the broccoli was a little overcooked. I'll try it again with some adjustments.

Not for me. The ricotta alfredo sauce was too heavy and the broccoli was too bland. I prefer a lighter, more flavorful sauce.

Disappointed. The sauce was too runny and the broccoli was undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Easy peasy! This dish was a breeze to make and turned out amazing. The ricotta cheese gives the sauce a wonderful creaminess.

Meh. It was okay, but I've had better. The sauce was a bit bland and the broccoli was soggy. I wouldn't make this again.

Not a fan. The sauce was too heavy for my taste and the broccoli was a bit overcooked. I'll stick to my regular fettuccine alfredo recipe.
