Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Make the sauce while the pasta water is heating up. Once the sauce is done, you should be ready to cook the pasta. Fresh pasta is more porous than dried, and we recommend it here because it will better absorb the sauce.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 garlic clove, peeled and lightly crushed
Table salt and ground black pepper
Pinch nutmeg
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 package fresh fettuccine (9-ounce)

Steps:

  • 1. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot over high heat. Using ladle, fill each of 4 individual serving bowls with about 1/2 cup boiling water. Set aside. 2. Heat butter over medium heat in large saucepan until foaming. Whisk in flour until mixture is smooth and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, half-and-half, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard garlic, stir in Parmesan, and remove from heat. 3. Stir 1 tablespoon salt and pasta into boiling water and cook, stirring constantly, until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain pasta. 4. Return sauce to low heat, add 1/3 cup pasta water and cooked pasta; toss until evenly coated. Cook until sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Add more cooking water as needed to thin sauce to proper consistency and adjust seasonings. Working quickly, empty water from warmed bowls and fill with pasta. Serve immediately.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk and vegan cheese to make this recipe. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great base for creating your own variations. I like to add some vegetables, such as broccoli or mushrooms, to the sauce.

The sauce was too thick for my liking. I had to add some milk to thin it out.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to give it more flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the sauce turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I love that this recipe uses skim milk and low-fat cheese. It makes it a much healthier option than the traditional Alfredo sauce.

This recipe is a great way to lighten up your favorite comfort food. The sauce is still rich and flavorful, but it's not as heavy as the traditional version.

I was skeptical about how a low-fat Alfredo sauce could be good, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was just as creamy and delicious as the regular version, but without all the guilt.
