I think Rachel007 may have mistakenly used sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk - this is a huge difference. Many products labeled "condensed milk" (in the US, at least) are actually SWEETENED condensed milk - they have a lot of sugar added to them and are meant to be used in desserts.I cannot see this recipe having a "sickly sweet flavor" from evaporated milk. I think this recipe may have been a victim of "wrong ingredient syndrome" :)

It was really tasty, I substituted regular parmesan cheese and reduced fat margarine for the butter flakes. I also added some fresh steamed broccoli and some chicken breast I sauteed with olive oil, fresh garlic and red pepper flakes. t turned out great. While the sauce was warming up it was really thin, but once I added the pasta, chicken, broccoli and extra cheese it thickened up nicely. Will definitely be making this again!

i wish you had more unrated recipes so i could write a first! i am always looking for good low fat recipes for my father and this is awesome! had fresh chives so i used those in place of green onion (twice as much for preference) but followed the rest. very creamy and delicious

Considering how much lower in fat this is, I was impressed with the taste and creamy texture. I did have to use regular parmesan cheese because I couldn't find nonfat. I just added some garlic powder for some extra flavor. My sauce really didn't thicken, so I just mixed some cornstarch into some cold kim milk and stirred it into the sauce. Then it thickened very nicely and tasted like it was loaded with fat! Thanx for sharing. I will make this again (with my little additions).

I have to say I am impressed, that this can be made lowfat and still taste SO close to the full fat version!!! I cooked according to directions, at first it seemed very thin, but as it cooled, it thickened. I added some garlic powder and sundried tomatoes to the sauce. It was a bit grainy in texture from all the parmesean, I think next time I will try fresh parm instead. Great recipe and I will make it again before buying a jar of the 18g of fat per serving kind!

Since I do not have a Premium Membership, I am unable to thank all you folks personally for trying and reviewing my recipes. So in order to show my appreciation, I will thank you by trying and reviewing one of YOUR recipes.Now, a little about me . . .It's hard to believe I've been a member for over 7 years now! Once I discovered Zaar, I never looked back at the other sites. This place is truly like family, sitting around sharing great recipes, helpful hints and just chit-chatting about our daily lives.Hubby and I were fortunate enough to be able to retire early and now enjoy traveling in our motorhome :) . Our travels have taken us all over this great country of ours and meeting new and exciting people along the way is an extra bonus. We are blessed. We usually alternate between Florida Keys and Arizona for the winters. The rest of the year, you can find us just about any place. We love our home on the lake, but there is a bit of gypsy in us both and we hit the road as much as we possibly can.I subscribe to Taste of Home and own EVERY Southern Living Annual since 1979.I guess my biggest pet peeve is people who are negative all the time. Because I enjoy life so much, I try to avoid such people. Life is too short.
