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.

Low-Cal Fettuccine Alfredo image

This lighter version of alfredo gives you all the creaminess of the original without loads of heavy cream and butter.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low-fat (2%) milk
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons Neufchâtel or low-fat cream cheese
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces fresh fettuccine
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook until the garlic is slightly soft, about 1 minute. Add in the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook, whisking constantly, until just thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the Neufchâtel and parmesan cheese; whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot. Add the sauce and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the pasta and gently toss to combine, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with parmesan and pepper.

While you can never call Alfredo Sauce truly low fat and guilt free, here is one that has maybe less guilt associated with it :)

Provided by pixieglenn

Categories     Sauces

Time 25m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart fat-free half-and-half
4 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1 cup light margarine
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon garlic

Steps:

  • 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.
