PASTA ALFREDO



Pasta Alfredo image

Cream, Parmesan, and bacon-no wonder pasta Alfredo is such a flavorful dish. But when a serving is full of fat and calories, the classic recipe isn't exactly something that you can enjoy too often. Ours is a lighter version that features fat-free vegetable broth, fat-free evaporated milk, and cornstarch to help thicken up the sauce instead of full-fat, heavy cream. We do keep the bacon and grated Parmesan cheese to stay in the Alfredo spirit, but you can omit the bacon entirely if you'd like to help keep it a little lighter. Serving with a large, fresh garden salad alongside helps balance out the hearty, delicious pasta sauce.

WW FETTUCCINE ALFREDO



Ww Fettuccine Alfredo image

This is an outstanding dish. I always add some shrimp and mushrooms to the dish. I know the shimp adds more points but it is so worth it. Without the shrimp and mushrooms you get 7 points per serving. Serving size is 1 cup. Serve piping hot while it's creamiest. Happy eating.
