Lower Fat Alfredo Sauce
"While you can never call Alfredo Sauce truly low fat and guilt free, here is one that has maybe less guilt associated with it :)"
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
4 cups
ingredients
- 1 quart fat-free half-and-half
- 4 ounces low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup light margarine
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon garlic
directions
- Melt the half and half, cream cheese and margarine together in a sauce pan.
- When nice and bubbly hot slowly add the parmesan cheese.
- Next add the garlic.
- Simmer on low for about 20 minutes.
- **Note, this sauce will separate. It's ok, when mixed with your pasta it will taste great and not be separated. I think it has something to do with the low fat oils.

This was pretty tastey! Unfortunately it would get more stars but its just not the same as the delicious fatty stuff! lol But I will definately make this again to watch our fat intake! I have made this a second time and paired it with my creamy prosciutto pasta Recipe #286859 and it was the perfect match!

I'm a SAHM with four kids. One who is allergic to dairy and soy, another who is a pescatarian, one a voracious carnivore who recently told me she likes meat that moo's when it's served to her, and another who is transitioning from vegetarian to vegan. With all these issues in our home with food and cooking I would die without this site!

<br>I like to OAMC and finding new ways to cut down my budget. I also like scrapbooking, reading, and cooking new things. While I enjoy cooking I just don't have tons of time in the kitchen to make complicated dishes, so I really like easy, fast, cheap, and healthy meals. I am under the delusion that there is a perfect cookbook out there somewhere, but am probably mistaken ;) Finding the perfect cookbook is probably like finding the perfect purse, it'll never happen but I keep trying!
