Steps:
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of a larger food processor (at least 7-cup capacity). Process until smooth and creamy. Do this in multiple batches if your food processor is smaller.
- Pour out sauce into a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring/whisking occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your liking. You don't want the sauce to boil.
- Cook the pasta (if using) while the sauce is heating. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions.
- Drain pasta and add it back to the pot. Pour in thickened alfredo sauce and toss to combine evenly. Serve immediately as it'll thicken as it sits/cools.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook until the garlic is slightly soft, about 1 minute. Add in the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook, whisking constantly, until just thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the Neufchâtel and parmesan cheese; whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot. Add the sauce and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the pasta and gently toss to combine, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with parmesan and pepper.

HEALTHIER ALFREDO SAUCE WITH SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI
Heavy cream and all but 1 tablespoon of butter are omitted from this dish, and cream cheese and Greek yogurt are used in their place. A slice of bacon is used to add some richness and a smoky aroma, but not a ton of fat. Serve with sauteed zucchini noodles, pasta, or rice.

Steps:
- Place bacon in a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mostly but not fully cooked, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add broccoli, and saute until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour broccoli and bacon into a bowl lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil; discard paper towel and toss broccoli mixture with lemon juice.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a deep saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Whisk in flour to create a roux; continue whisking until mixture turns golden brown, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth. Reduce heat to low, add cream cheese, and whisk until no lumps remain. Stir in chicken broth, increase heat to medium, and simmer until thick, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese and Italian cheese; stir until incorporated. Stir in Greek yogurt. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Remove from heat and stir in broccoli-bacon mixture. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and garnish with parsley.

HEALTHIER ALFREDO SAUCE
A lighter version of this delicious cheese sauce. You can adjust flour, cheese, and milk for your desired thickness and lightness of this dish. Fresh basil and sliced mushrooms can be added in the last few minutes to add some heartiness. I serve with grilled (marinated in Italian dressing overnight) chicken breast and a side salad for balance. Enjoy! :)
