I made this sauce adding Asiago cheese to make a sauce to use for a chicken lasagna I was making. I added onion, garlic and a bit of fresh tarragon for extra flavor. It was just what I wanted!

This turned out great! I used food coloring (blue and yellow) to make it green to have over your spinach mold. Love the flavor and it was delicious over the spinach!

Made as written and it turned out perfectly. Used it for a quick tuna-mushroom alfredo.

I did make a few changes to this recipe due to food intolerances and this turned out perfectly delicious! I used potato flour instead of regular flour, substituted almond milk to make this non dairy and I used nutritional yeast flakes in lieu of the parmesan cheese. I drizzled this over steamed broccoli and OH BOY YUM!!
