About Light cheese sauce
Light Cheese Sauce is a creamy, flavorful addition often found in Western cuisine, particularly in comfort foods and pasta dishes. Made with a blend of low-fat milk, reduced-fat cheese, and a touch of flour or cornstarch for thickening, this lighter version retains the rich taste of traditional cheese sauces but with fewer calories and less saturated fat. It commonly includes seasonings like garlic, mustard, or nutmeg to enhance its flavor profile. This sauce is a good source of calcium and protein, contributing to bone health and muscle maintenance. However, servings can still be high in sodium depending on the cheese used, so moderation is key. Versatile and satisfying, light cheese sauce is a healthier alternative for those seeking indulgence without compromising their dietary goals, whether drizzled over vegetables, layered in casseroles, or stirred into pasta dishes.
