Guiltless Alfredo

We all love Fettuccine Alfredo but feel a relentless guilt after we eat it. Why does it have to be so good but contain 20-50 grams of fat?

Well I came up with a recipe that is extremely low in fat and tastes equally as great if not better. Its very inexpensive and easy to do, I would recommend this recipe to anyone who wants to eat healthier but has irresistible cravings for not so healthy food!

Guiltless Alfredo

WHAT YOU NEED:

1-2 servings

  • Skim Milk (you just need about a few cups, so a quart will do)
  • 1/2 Onions (yellow onion)
  • 5 Garlic cloves (to taste, if you are not a big fan of garlic you can use less)
  • Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
DIRECTIONS


  1. Simmer milk in a sauce pan with garlic and chopped onion, milk doesn't reduce so measure the milk to the amount of sauce you want. (4/5 cups) For example if you want 6 cups sauce then you would add 6 cups milk. Simmer on low for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally being careful not to burn milk on bottom of pan.
  2. Strain milk into bowl, throw away onion and garlic pieces.
  3. Put onion/garlic flavored milk into another sauce pan, increase heat to medium/medium low. Wait until milk simmers then add Parmesan cheese while stirring constantly until thickened to desired consistancy.
  4. Salt & Pepper to taste.
Well there you go! A very healthy way to eat bad. Note: White truffle oil is a great investment and a couple drops can flavor this whole pasta dish and bring it to a new level.
