Sure, theres a high fat content.

So you dont need to use an entire tub of cream to make a beautiful,restaurant qualityAlfredo pasta.
I have seen recipes around that use double the amount of cream I use.

I was 24 before I had my first Alfredo pasta.
My mother never, ever cooked with cream its just not the done thing in Japanese home cooking!
And now I believe to my very core that cooking with cream for midweek meals is just not acceptable.
