Fettuccine Alfredo

LaDiablesse

Just made this tonight and it was wonderful. Could add chicken breast or shrimp as well.

I got the recipe from Rocco Dispirito's Now Eat This cookbook.

Ingredients

* 8 oz. whole wheat fettuccine
* 1 tbs. butter
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 tsp. cornstarch
* Pinch ground nutmeg
* 3/4 cup low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth
* 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
* 3/4 cup 5% Greek yogurt
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make it:

~ Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions, 9 to 11 minutes; drain.

~ While pasta is cooking, melt butter in large sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

~ Meanwhile, combine cornstarch and nutmeg in small bowl. Whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Pour mixture into sauté pan, raise heat, and bring sauce to simmer, whisking occasionally. Whisk in ½ cup cheese until melted. Remove sauté pan from heat and whisk in yogurt until sauce is smooth.

~ In large bowl, toss fettuccine with Alfredo sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired. Top pasta with remaining ¼ cup cheese and serve. Makes 4 servings.
