Quick Easy Low Fat Pasta Recipes – Low Fat Fettuccine Alfredo

By Rebecca Garcia

No matter what the Atkins experts say about pasta and its carb content, I still love a huge serving of rich creamy, perfectly cooked Fettuccine Alfredo to fill me up on cold winter nights.

Yes, I know what you're thinking – a heart attack on a plate – but this classic fat laden pasta dish can be made over and still taste satisfyingly creamy. It's so darn good that you won't even know it's actually low fat!

Easy Low Fat Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe

(serves 4)

Ingredients:

12 ounces fettuccine

1 cup broccoli florets

1 tablespoon reduced fat unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1½ cups fat free milk

¼ cup fat-free cream cheese

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan, and extra for sprinkling

½ teaspoon kosher salt

How to make reduced fat fettuccine alfredo

Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook broccoli until tender, about 3 minutes and then drain.

Melt butter in a non-stick saucepan over low heat; add garlic and saute gently for 1 minute. Whisk in flour to form a paste, then add the milk gradually, stirring constantly until slightly thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese, Parmesan and kosher salt. Keep stirring until smooth.

Combine hot pasta and cooked broccoli florets in a large bowl. Add pasta sauce and toss well to coat. Top each serving with extra Parmesan. Enjoy!
