Low Fat Alfredo Sauce Recipe

February 24, 2010 by DanicasDaily 6 Comments

Most people will tell you when eating healthy, you should avoid anything that is made with a cream sauce, like Alfredo Sauce.  However, I say, why avoid it when you can make a healthy Low Fat Alfredo sauce that tastes just as good, if not better than the real deal.  I know there are several different variations using Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges to make a Mock Alfredo, however, this is the version that I find works the best.

I used 1/2 Garlic & Herb and 1/2 Original Swiss Laughing Cow Cheeses when I created the sauce for my Sweet Potato Gnocchi with a Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Sauce.  Although my Gnocchi wasn’t perfect, this sauce was absolutely AMAZING!

I think this thick & creamy Alfredo sauce would be awesome served up over some whole wheat fettuccine with steamed broccoli, sautéed mushrooms and grilled chicken.

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

8 Laughing Cow Lite Original Swiss Wedges, garlic & herb or French onion (any combination works)

2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 c fat free milk

1/2 tbsp butter

Sea Salt & Pepper to taste, about 1/2 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp pepper

If you’d like more of a fresh garlic taste, add 1 clove of minced garlic when you first start to cook the sauce.

INSTRUCTIONS::

1.  Combine all the above ingredients in a small sauce place.  Place on heat over medium low, stirring often using a wire whisk until melted and creamy.  The sauce will thicken as the cheese melts.

2.  Serve at once over your favorite pasta, veggies, gnocchi or as The Husband says, dip for your bread.

Yields about 1 cup of sauce, 16 Tablespoons

    YUM! Love the food today! I can’t wait to find those bagel thins – they look perfect!

    And the Latte – MMMM!

    When I find a 6 pack of the peanut butter eggs after my TOM is over, I will be buying them. So good.

    I liked bachelor women tell all. You could see the tension! I can’t wait til next week. They make it look like broken heart all around so it will be interesting to see what actually happened.

    Did I hear Ali is the next bachelorette? gah!! maybe it was just a rumor?

    Hi Alison,

    It was such a good food day, now only if my gnocchi would’ve worked out perfectly LOL.

    That is so smart to wait because I could easily probably eat the entire pack during TOM. I keep dreaming about putting it in oatmeal like you mentioned 😀

    I cannot wait for the finale!!! Ugh ~ I have heard the Ali rumors too ~ seriously, I may have to boy cott that – Gia would be way better only because Ali bugs the heck out of me 😀 Sorry, I liked her in the beginning, but, then, she sorta got all not so nice…..
