Skinny fettuccine alfredo is a lighter take on the classic creamy pasta dish, substituting some of the heavier ingredients with healthier alternatives. This delicious recipe combines whole-wheat pasta, a light and creamy sauce made with milk and chicken broth, and is flavored with garlic, parmesan cheese, and a hint of nutmeg. Perfect for those looking to enjoy a comforting meal without the extra calories.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor and a smoother sauce.
- Cook the pasta to al dente to ensure it has a firm texture that holds up well with the creamy sauce.
- Season the sauce gradually and taste as you go to adjust the salt and pepper to your preference.
- Be careful not to overcook the garlic as it can turn bitter; sauté just until fragrant.
- Feel free to add some vegetables like broccoli or spinach to increase the nutritional value of the dish.
Skinny fettuccine alfredo with parmesan, garlic, and nutmeg is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional alfredo. The use of whole-wheat pasta and a lighter sauce does not compromise on flavor, making it a guilt-free indulgence. With a blend of aromatic garlic, creamy parmesan, and a touch of nutmeg, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy it as a comforting weeknight meal or impress your guests with a delightful, healthy pasta dish.
