Skinny Fettuccine Alfredo

February 24, 2014 by Kay 8 Comments

Yes, this is a skinny recipe and YES it still has all the flavor of an Alfredo Sauce! I’m telling you the truth, you will love this light version of Skinny fettucine Alfredo. I used a black pepper infused fettuccine, so my noodles will have a darker color.

My daughter Mackenzie and I could not get enough of this recipe. We are both huge fans of Alfredo Sauce but don’t like to take in all the calories, so this is a nice alternative. We added some shrimp sautéed in olive oil and sprinkled with Old Bay Seasoning.

Skinny Fettucinne Alfredo

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 4 Servings

Skinny Fettucinne Alfredo

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fettuccine (or any pasta shape)
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Tbsp. flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup low-fat milk (I used 1%)
  • 3/4 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook pasta al dente according to package directions, in generously salted water.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute one minute, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Sprinkle with flour, and stir to combine. Saute for an additional minute to cook the flour, stirring occasionally.
  • Slowly add chicken broth, whisking to combine until smooth. Whisk in milk, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let cook for an additional minute until thickened, then stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. Reduce heat to medium-low until pasta reaches al dente.
  • Drain pasta, then immediately add pasta to the saute pan with alfredo sauce. Toss to combine and serve.

Notes

Note: I served this dish with sautéed shrimp. Heat 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat, add ½ to ¾ lb. cooked shrimp (tails removed) and sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning. Saute for 3-5 minutes until shrimp are heated through. Serve on top of the Skinny Fettucinne Alfredo.

    Oh my goodness, this looks delicious! I LOVE alfredo sauce, but usually opt for tomato sauce because it’s healthier. I’m excited to try this recipe out!
