One thing that might help with the clumping of the egg yolks - and I'm surprised that the original recipe doesn't mention it - would be to temper the eggs by mixing a measure of the hot sauce to the beaten eggs before putting them into the saucepan. It's a fairly common technique with Hollandaise and other sauces. Read More

I wrote a review for this recipe but it has disappeared. I shall say that the egg yolks were unappetizing and most unappealing and we will never make this recipe again. Thank you. Read More

I followed this recipe but found that the alfredo came out clumpy. I asked a friend who said that the temperature was too hot for the eggs. So a word of caution regarding adding the eggs might want to first melt the cheese into the sauce and then slowly mix in the egg yolks off the heat.:-) Read More

Yummo!! but very rich. If you want a little something extra added some garlic and Dijon Mustard. If you are in a rush getting home from work try adding some corn flour for thickening instead of letting it simmer to reduce. Read More

We tried it because we only had these ingredients on hand and it was a mistake. The sauce turned chunky after a few minutes in the noodles. Read More

Very tasty. I added some garlic and some white wine as well. Usually I use a flour mixture to thicken my alfredo but the eggs worked well. Very yummy:) Read More

My boyfriend and I agree that this recipe isn't too great. It turned out WAY too thick to the point of being chunky and the cheese was beyond overpowering. I wouldn't reccommend it unless someone can tweak it. Read More
