LIGHTER ALFREDO SAUCE
This actually turned out very good. I served it with whole wheat pasta, scallops, peas and mushrooms all mixed together. Also, I LOVE garlic, so I added a lot and I didnt add any salt while cooking, so adjust it to your tastes.

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO (FROM COOKING LIGHT)
From Cooking Light's Five Star Recipes, this was one of a handful of Editor's Choice recipes. A lovely sauce for pasta that's much lighter than traditional alfredo. Recipe calls for light process cream cheese which is reduced-fat cream cheese in the little tub. I have used reduced-fat cream cheese in the block without a problem. Original recipe also calls for margarine but I have never use the stuff so have listed butter in the ingredient list. Fettucine should be cooked without salt or fat and kept hot until sauce is added.
