Skinny Fettuccine Alfredo

A rich and creamy lightened up alfredo sauce that’s so easy to make, and it tastes just as good as the original!

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups 2% milk, or more, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 ounces Neufchatel cheese, cubed
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and garlic powder until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  3. Stir in cheeses until melted, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Stir in pasta and gently toss to combine.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
