Cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, saute garlic in butter for 1 minute. Gradually stir in broth. reduce heat. In a bowl, combine the sour cream, whipping cream, salt and pepper; stir into broth mixture (do not boil). Drain fettuccine and place in a large serving bowl. Add the cream sauce, Parmesan cheese and walnuts; toss to coat. Yield: 6 servings.

I used to make this all the time, and then I forgot about it for a while. Very quick and tasty -- I use fat free sour cream and sometimes fat free half-and-half instead of whipping cream. It is from Taste of Home magazine, many years ago. It's not a traditional cream sauce -- the parmesan and walnuts give it a unique texture.
