Fettuccine Spinach Alfredo

The worst thing about alfredo sauce is that one portion is enough calories discredit any form of exercise you have done...ever...in your entire life.  But the best thing about alfredo sauce is it's SO DANG GOOD!

The cream cheese in this sauce really adds a creamy flavor.   And don't scimp on the parmesan cheese, that fake powdery stuff will leave your sauce tasting chaulky.
