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.
