Ingredients
- 8 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 4 oz Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 1.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining and set the pasta aside.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and add the low-fat cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese begins to melt and combine with the butter.
Step 4
Slowly pour in skim milk while continuing to stir, creating a smooth and creamy base for the sauce.
Step 5
Add grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta with the Alfredo sauce.
Step 8
Divide the pasta among four bowls or plates, and optionally garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your WW-friendly Fettuccine Alfredo!
