Fettuccini Alfredo VI image

Just as good as the cholesterol-laden original. Created for diabetics, but great for anyone trying to reduce their fat intake. For added flavor try using a garlic and herb Parmesan cheese blend and to increase fiber content use whole wheat pasta. Easily doubled for when you need more than 2 servings. Enjoy!

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
2 teaspoons margarine
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 ½ teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups skim milk
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces Neufchatel cheese
¼ cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • In a large pot cook with boiling salted water cook fettuccini pasta until al dente. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium-high heat melt margarine; add garlic and saute for one minute. Add flour, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in milk, continue to stir until sauce thickens, about 5 to7 minutes. Add the Neufchatel cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and ground black pepper. Cook until the cheese has completely melted.
  • Serve Alfredo sauce over cooked and drained fettuccini noodles. Sprinkle the top with fresh parsley.
