Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

½ (16 ounce) package whole wheat fettucine
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon salted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup reduced-fat, low-sodium chicken broth
¾ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
¾ cup Greek yogurt
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 11 minutes.
While the fettuccine is cooking, combine cornstarch and nutmeg together in a small bowl. Add chicken broth and whisk until smooth.
Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour chicken broth mixture into the pan, raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally. Add 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; whisk until melted. Remove from heat and whisk in yogurt until sauce is smooth.
Drain fettuccine and place in a large bowl. Add Alfredo sauce and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve.
