Time 25m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 quart fat-free half-and-half
4 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1 cup light margarine
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon garlic

Steps:

Melt the half and half, cream cheese and margarine together in a sauce pan.
When nice and bubbly hot slowly add the parmesan cheese.
Next add the garlic.
Simmer on low for about 20 minutes.
**Note, this sauce will separate. It's ok, when mixed with your pasta it will taste great and not be separated. I think it has something to do with the low fat oils.

Tips:

Use cauliflower as a creamy base. Cauliflower is a low-carb, low-calorie vegetable that can be used to create a creamy sauce without the guilt. Simply steam or roast the cauliflower until soft, then blend it until smooth.
Add flavor with roasted garlic and Parmesan cheese. Roasted garlic adds a delicious depth of flavor to the sauce, while Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor. Be sure to use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
Use unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk. Traditional Alfredo sauce is made with heavy cream, which is high in fat and calories. Using unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk will help to lighten up the sauce without sacrificing flavor.
Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta or vegetables. Alfredo sauce is a versatile sauce that can be served over a variety of dishes. Try it over pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This guilt-free Alfredo sauce is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite pasta dish. Made with cauliflower, roasted garlic, Parmesan cheese, and unsweetened almond milk, this sauce is low in carbs, calories, and fat. Plus, it's packed with flavor. So next time you're craving Alfredo sauce, reach for this healthy version. You won't be disappointed!
