  • “I really enjoyed it Alot!! I love Alfredo sauce but it is Very Fatting…This did not even taste fat free!!I really Loved It!Thanks Dorothy!!”

  • “I used fresh ground pepper because I didn’t have cracked.It was just a little bland so I went on and added extra parm into the sauce. Great easy meal. I served it to my husband who doesn’t like sour cream and he liked it. I served it with broccoli and ended up eating it together. Good meal.”

  • “This was a very easy dish to put together and we liked it. I love pepper, but I do think I will reduce the amount of pepper to half next time because it was too peppery even for me. I also did not care much for the flavor of the sour cream so I think next time I might try fat-free half-n-half. I did heat up the dish after mixing it all together so it was a little more creamy and the sour cream was not cold. Thanks for sharing.”

  • “I enjoyed this linquine very much! When mixing the sour cream and milk I added only half of the amount of pepper. Light and wonderful flavors! I added a bit more fresh ground pepper along with the parsley and parmesan cheese and served with Bergy’s Garlic, Broccoli & Lemon. Thank you Derf for a wonderful lunch!”

  • “WOW!! This is definitely for pepper lovers!! This was easy to make and went together very quickly. I love the fact that it is low fat. I am a HUGE pepper lover, but this was a little too peppery even for me. Next time, I think that I would reduce the amount of pepper by half. Thank you for sharing this low fat recipe.”
