Sucker for alfredo? I AM! Try this!

Kaecklund

I got the idea from a post on here and I tried my own variation! It was great!

3/4 C whole wheat pasta
Apx 3/4 C skim/fat free milk (I didn't measure)
4 wedges Laughing Cow light garlic & herb cheese
1/2 Zuccini thinly shaved with a vegetable peeler (I used a cheese slicer) - you can use any veggie you want!
Freshly ground black pepper

Boil the pasta, add the shaved zuccini for a few minutes to soften it. While the pasta is cooking, simmer the cheese and milk until it is smooth. Add the softened zuccini and black pepper. Yum!

Sounds good. I will have to try it. Classico now makes a Light Creamy Alfredo sauce that is very good.

I saw it on the shelf when Safeway had their BOGO sale, but it wasn't much different from the original I thought. But I bet it's tasty!

Sounds like something I might have to try on a rainy weekend! Thanks!

I really want to try this, thanks!

Also, I just bought the Classico Light Alfredo and it's waayyyy good. I love alfredo so much.

AND I have made this recipe from Allrecipes - it's more involved than yours, but still quite delicious, and the beans make it a great source of protein and fiber! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/vegetarian-white-bean-alfredo-with-linguine/detail.aspx

Yum, might try that later this week I am chowing down on my new Garlic prawn recipe at the moment

200g Prawn Meat

Turmeric to colour

Just put your cup of milk in the frying pan on low heat add garlic and turmeric (just a little bit) heat till its warm, not boiling (dont let it boil) put cornflour in a little cup/bowl add a pinch of water to make a paste and add to milk mixture. Stir till sauce thickens.
Meanwhile boil salted water add prawns for 3 mins (till floating and coloured)
Add prawns to milk mixture a heat through...Yummo!

I make the bean one all of the time and it tastes great and is sooooooo much healthier than the stuff from the jar.

Thanks for sharing.
I need to try these Laughing Cow light cheese wedges.
They were mentioned as another sub for Velvetta in shirataki noodle mac and cheese.
