Who does not love a nice big bowl of fettucine alfredo? If you go to any restaurant and eat this there are more calories in that one bowl than you probably should be eating in an entire day! This recipe gives you that yummy, creamy sauce without all the calories. Eat it on top of whole wheat pasta and you have a great meal with lots of good grains. Try it out!
Guiltless Alfredo
2 cups low fat milk
1/3 cup (3 oz) (I used fat free and it turned out fine)
2 T flour
1 tsp salt
1 T butter
3 garlic cloves (can use less if you don't like a lot of garlic)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Mix milk, cream cheese, flour and salt in a blender until smooth. Melt butter in skillet and saute garlic for about 30 seconds. Add milk mixture to garlic and stir for a few minutes until thickened. Add parmesan cheese and stir. Cover with a lid, remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes to thicken up more. If you refrigerate this it will get very thick, just add milk and re-heat.
