Garlic Alfredo Sauce
I got this recipe from Best Bites but made it my own to cut down on the fat even more.
Garlic Alfredo Sauce
2 cups of low-fat milk (I actually used non fat)
3-4 ounces of fat free cream cheese (or use 1/3 reduced fat or all fat)
2 T flour
1 t salt
1 T butter
3-5 garlic cloves
1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup mozzarella cheese
Toss the milk, cream cheese, flour, and salt in a blender. Process until smooth and set aside.
In a non-stick sauce pan, melt butter on med-high heat and add garlic. Let the garlic saute for about 30 seconds, you don't want to burn it.
Then add milk mixture to the pan. Stir constantly for about 3 or 4 minutes or until it just comes to a simmer. Keep stirring and let it cook for a few minutes more. It should be much thicker now.
When it's nice and thick (it should look as thick as a normal alfredo sauce) remove the pan from the heat. Add the cheese, stir it up and then cover immediately. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before using. After I let it sit, this is where I you can add some chunks of chicken. Then put it over some noodles or tortilla chips and give yourself some Italian nachos.
These noodles below rock! I have no idea where they are sold up here as I get them at Waansgards in Ogden.
