Yummy Alfredo Sauce

  • 1 tbsp. low-fat margarineshopping list
  • 2 tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 c. fat-free milk
  • 1/4 nonfat or low-fat cream cheese
  • 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
    • My first recommendation is to gather all ingredients and have them measured out. Set in sequence of list so you're ready because it goes quickly.
    • In non-stick saucepan, add margarine and garlic.
    • Saute for 30 seconds. Whisk in flour, then slowly whisk in the milk.
    • Cook, stirring continually, until slightly thick, about 2 minutes.
    • Whisk in cream cheese and parmesan until smooth, about 1-2 mins.
    • Add salt & pepper to taste.
    • Remove from heat and cover until ready to serve.
    • Serve over a bed of your favorite pasta!
