This is basically a recipe I found in the Looneyspoons cookbook and altered to suit my tastes! So very yummy! Feel free to add whatever you like - sometimes I add chicken, and sometimes I add shrimp!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces fettuccine pasta, dry
2 tablespoons butter
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups 2% low-fat milk (or I have used skim)
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated (real is better)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
1 -2 cup shrimp or 1 -2 cup chicken

Steps:

  • Cook fettuccine. Drain and return to pot.
  • While you are cooking the pasta, prepare the sauce. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Mix the milk and flour together until smooth. Add to garlic.
  • Increase heat to medium high. Cook and stir until it is bubbling and thickened. 4 - 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 -2 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  • Stir in chicken or shrimp and sour cream.
  • Cook until heated through.
  • Pour sauce over fettuccine and toss to coat.
  • Enjoy!
