Lighter Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce Recipe

A cozy home-cooked meal made simply!
Sometimes I find myself in a pinch for dinner and I need to pull something together quickly. Pasta is definitely easy, so I like to make a Lighter Fettuccine Alfredo recipe! We always add broccoli too!
This warm, home-cooked meal can be pulled together in 20 minutes, and it’s a fool-proof way to make a delicious Alfredo sauce! The great part about it is that it doesn’t use any cream or half and half, just milk.
Cheesy pasta with a side of broccoli, so easy and so comforting!

The How To
Bring a pot of water to boil on the stove. Cook your fettuccine according to package instructions. You can also use whatever pasta you have on hand!
Next, in a medium-sized bowl, pour in milk, flour, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Whisk together!
Now, place a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Melt the butter and then add the milk mixture. Heat until it starts to lightly boil. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes while whisking. Once the sauce has thickened it will coat the back of a spoon!
Turn down the heat to low and add parmesan cheese and cream cheese. Whisk until completely combined. (*You can sub with some Neufchatel cheese, or fat-free cream cheese to make it even lighter)
Serve with drained pasta or add the pasta directly to the pan of Alfredo Sauce. Enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed this recipe, let me know how it turned out in the comments!
