Bryan doesn't like any of the canned alfredo sauce that we've bought so far, so I told him I'd try and make some homemade. My first attempt was very good, but a tad (and by tad I mean A LOT) on the fatty side. When telling my friend about this, she said she had a wonderful low-fat recipe. Perfect!
It's taken me a little while to get around to trying it, but, OH, how I'm glad I did! This recipe is awesome! I shouldn't seem so surprised, though, since Jamie was born cooking. (How lucky am I to have gotten to learn so much from her...and Steph! Thanks girls!)
Anyway, the recipe is below, but most importantly, check out Jamie's site and try her wonderful creations! Thanks, Jamie! I can't wait to try more of your wonderful recipes!
Low-Fat Fettuccine Alfredo
8 oz. fettuccine
1 1/4 cups fat-free, reduced sodium chicken broth
4 tsp flour
1/3 cup light cream cheese
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp groud nutmeg
1/8 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp parsley, fresh or dried
*Cook pasta.
*Combine broth and flour in a saucepan.
*Stir in remaining ingredients.
*Cook, stirring constantly with a wisk until cream cheese is melted and mixture boils and thickens.
*Toss cooked, drained pasta with sauce.
*Sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese if you'd like.
*It's also great to add in some grilled chicken!
