ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place butter in microwave safe pot and heat on high for 30 seconds or until melted.
• Add cream and warm on high for approximately 1 minute.
• Add Parmesan cheese and warm until cheese melts.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. (If serving with shrimp, you might not need much salt.).
• Pour over 4 servings of warm noodles (I use angel hair) and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
• Notes: I serve it with cubed, grilled or broiled chicken breast mixed in with the noodles or shrimp. Add a green salad and you have a complete meal. I have used margarine and canned Parmesan cheese and it worked fine.

LOW-CAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

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.
