How to Make The Best Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce

Fettuccine alfredo

Alfredo sauce is a creamy white sauce commonly used on pasta, such as fettuccine. Although it is quite tasty and popular, alfredo sauce can be very high in fat, so making a low-fat version might appeal to pasta lovers looking for the taste without the guilt.

Things You'll Need

• 1/2 teaspoon butter
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the minced garlic cloves and cook for one minute.

2. Combine the fat-free milk with the flour in a bowl and mix well.

3. Add the milk/flour mixture to the saucepan with the butter and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until it just starts to boil. Stir or whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. This should take about five minutes.

4. Add the grated Parmesan and stir it into the mixture. Lower the heat to low and cook for about five minutes. Serve over pasta or steamed vegetables.

5. Add a quarter-pound of tiny cooked shrimp or a can of drained crab meat for variety.
