  [My wife only cooked half the pasta, and presumably cut down
the sauce recipe as well; the first time she added the cream
first, and it turned out just fine.]

  [In my experience, "Fettucine Alfredo" has been some flat
noodles with a thick heavy cream sauce.  This was nothing like
that.  The "Rainbow Twirls" are just Rotelle pasta (sort of
like corkscrews, i.e. helix-shaped) in three different colors.
And the sauce wasn't thick -- it was a nice cheesy sauce.  In
fact, as I put it, it's got Kraft Dinner beat all hollow.
(And did you know that Kraft Macaroni & Cheese used to be
marketed "Serve Kraft Dinner -- it saves on ration points" ?)]
