Low Fat Fettuccine Alfredo
I tried this recipe and it's excellent! Doesn't taste low fat at all. I thought low fat fettuccine was an oxymoron, too. To make it even healthier you can use reduced fat cheese and low sodium broth, but this is pretty good anyway.
Fettuccine with Shrimp Sauce
One cup fettuccine noodles (I used whole wheat bowties)
One half cup chicken broth
One sixth cup dry white wine
One half tsp. dried marjoram
5oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2/3 cup milk
1/2 oz Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
onion, green pepper, mushrooms, diced
pepper, garlic to taste
Combine chicken broth, wine and marjoram in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for about a minute until shrimp starts to turn pink. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside. Meanwhile cook pasta according to package directions. Combine cornstarch and milk, pour into broth mixture, and then stir until mixture becomes thick. Add cheese and stir until cheese melts. Add shrimp and heat through. Serve over cooked fettuccine noodles.
Serves one.
