From Cottage Living Magazine
This sauce is similar to the classic Alfredo, but we've lightened it with chicken broth and flavored it with mushrooms.
Prep: 20 minutes; Cook: 40 minutes.
Yield
Makes 4 to 6 servings
Cook : 1 pound dried pasta, such as rotini, or linguini cooked according to package directions.
