I love Alfredo sauce but it is usually very high in fat with all the cream and cheese that goes into it...this is a much lower fat version using skim milk and chicken broth. Enjoy!
Light Alfredo Sauce
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups skim milk
3 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1. In sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until golden brown.
2. In small saucepan stir together milk, chicken broth, flour, salt & pepper over low eat until smooth. Stir into onion/garlic mixture.
3. Continue cooking over med low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is thick.
4. Stir in parmesan cheese.
We love this over whole wheat pasta and chicken with either brocolli or red & yellow peppers. With the brocolli we usually just put the frozen brocolli in the water with the pasta and cook them together that way (note - don't put the brocolli in until the end - maybe the last 5-6 minutes, otherwise it gets a little too soft). With the peppers we will saute them in olive oil.

Interesting to cook the veggies with the pasta. We'll have to try that.dad
Meg, can you use the grated Parmesan in the Kraft canister or does it have to be fresh grated cheese?
Dad & I are getting hungry for 'Alfredo' something or other!
you can definitely use the canister - we have never used fresh. sometimes we do use the shredded parmesan in a canister and it's good too.
