Ingredients

• 12 oz Fettuccine
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 oz Low-fat cream cheese
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 3 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 6 oz Smoked salmon, flaked
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until it begins to melt and incorporate with the garlic.

Step 4

Slowly add the chicken or vegetable broth, a little at a time, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.

Step 5

Stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Add the lemon zest and flaked smoked salmon to the sauce, stirring gently to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 7

Toss the cooked fettuccine with the sauce in the skillet, making sure the pasta is evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
