Reduced Fat Alfredo Sauce image

This sauce is lower in fat than traditional Alfredo Sauce but full of flavour. Great as a side with grilled chicken or double it for a meal with meat filled pasta.

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 4 sides, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup 1% low-fat milk (skim may be used, but creates a thinner sauce)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 dash pepper

Steps:

  • The key here is patience, add all ingredients gradually!
  • Melt butter in sauce pan on stove top with medium heat.
  • Gradually whisk in flour.
  • This will create a yellow paste.
  • Gradually add milk, whisking until incorporated and no lumps are present.
  • Continue to whisk until hot.
  • Usually 3-5 minutes.
  • The longer you cook the base (without the cheese) the thicker the sauce will be.
  • Add parmesan slowly, again whisking until incorporated.
  • Add crushed garlic and pepper.
  • Cook for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Remove from heat.
