This lighter version of alfredo gives you all the creaminess of the original without loads of heavy cream and butter.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low-fat (2%) milk
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons Neufchâtel or low-fat cream cheese
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces fresh fettuccine
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook until the garlic is slightly soft, about 1 minute. Add in the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook, whisking constantly, until just thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the Neufchâtel and parmesan cheese; whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot. Add the sauce and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the pasta and gently toss to combine, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with parmesan and pepper.

DR. OZ HEALTHY DIET FETTUCCINE ALFREDO RECIPE BY DAVE LIEBERMAN



Dr. Oz Healthy Diet Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe by Dave Lieberman image

This is wonderful for someone like me that LOVES the creamy dishes. Alfredo sauce as we all know is not the healiest food to eat, and being that I love fetticuine alfredo I had to find an alternate way of making it. Plus with a hubby with lactose issues, I really missed having this dish. Thankfully I was watching the Dr. Oz show when I came home from work and saw them cook up this recipe. It doesn't taste bad at all for being considered a lower in fat type of dish.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb whole wheat pasta (cooked)
1/2 head cauliflower (core removed and broken into small florets)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots (minced)
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 cup parmesan cheese (grated, plus more for garnish)
salt and black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Cook the cauliflower for 20 minutes until it is soft. (steam or boil) I prefer to steam mine.
  • Cook the shallots over medium heat until translucent (around 10 minutes). Add the chicken stock and continue to cook for another few minutes.
  • Once the shallots and cauliflower has cooled, pop it into your blender and puree until it is perfectly silky and smooth. You don't want any chunks, because this is your alfredo sauce!
  • Toss the alfredo sauce over your whole wheat pasta and add the parmesan cheese. Serve warm immediately. (You could also steam some broccoli and add to the pasta with some grilled chicken, yum.).
