This was very tasty and very easy to make. I added 1 TBSP minced garlic to the butter, 1 tsp hot red pepper flakes as others recommended and a splash of lemon juice. I also added a can of Lump Crab Meat to the sauce when I added the broccoli. VERY GOOD EASY MEAL!!!

This dish is very, very bland. It could be good if you add a lot of more flavors like garlic, more parmesan and maybe some fresh basil. I will try again with these changes, I like the fact that is so light.

I really liked this recipe. I didn't use the broccoli, I used cottage cheese instead of ricotta, and I added a bit of basil. The only thing I would do different is add a bit less pepper.

really good and quick recipe. since i didn't have any cream in the house, i was so happy to find this recipe, and i had all the ingredients in my fridge. Instead of broccoli, i blanched some sweet snap peas and added those, along with some baked chicken. I would recommend serving this dish immediately after adding the noodles to the sauce, or else it gets too thick and the noodles stick together.

Family loved it. Has the alfredo taste, but it a bit lighter, due to the ricotta. Excellent!

This was really bland. I even added some crushed fresh garlic and it still didn't taste good. It smelled wonderful, but it didn't taste at all like it smelled. I may try playing with it sand seeing if I can make it less bland. Maybe using cornstarch inseat of the roux and using more garlic and such.

This turned out great. I did not think the texture was strange like some of the other reviewers. However it does need a little bit more flavor like more parm. cheese or garlic. Otherwise it was simple to make and I will probably make it again.

I made this with chicken instead of broccoli. It was ok, but not wonderful. We didn't really like the ricotta flavor with the noodles. I need to keep the ricotta mixtures with stuffed shells and lasagna!

It was creamy and had good texture, but it was lacking in the spice department. I thought it should have more flavor.

I made this 2 hours ahead of meal time and put it into a covered corning dish. I heated it in the oven. The consistency was like a casserole - but way too many noodles for the 6 servings. Bland, bland, bland. Had to add salt and still did not like it.

A nice twist on alfredo! I did make a few modifications though. I substituted chicken broth for the butter, lowfat evaporated milk for the regular skim, and lowfat ricotta for the part-skim. I also added a hefty shake of white pepper. The consistency was smooth and perfect! Also, no need to steam the broccoli separately - just throw it in the pasta pot during the last 2-3 minutes of boiling.

This was quite good, but needed a little additional seasoning to be really great. Since my frozen broccoli "florets" were more like saplings, I served this on a bed of fettucine topped with a cooked chicken breast, then the broccoli on top of the chicken, topped with the sauce! It looked very pretty :)

I'm not sure the difference between two stars and three, but this recipe was pretty blah. The ricotta and flour DO give it a wierd consistency. I don't think the reviewer who "curdled" it actually did curdle it, that's just the way it turns out. Not a bad flavor, but I'm pretty sure I won't make it again.
