So I made this last night on a whim....I think I'm a genius but maybe it's been done already....Regardless it's AMAZEBALLS!

Skinny Alfredo

1 Cup Fat Free Cottage Cheese
Clove of Garlic
1 Cup diced sweet onion
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Salt and Pepper
Small amount of Organic chicken broth
1 package Shirataki Tofu Noodles prepared as directed

I sauteed the onion and garlic together in the coconut oil until almost carmelized and then used a hand blender on the cottage cheese with a slight amount of chicken stock until it was a smooth sauce. Added it to the sauteed vegetables until warmed up and then poured onto the Tofu noodles.

Discovered this sauce is really good on top of steamed cauliflower and tastes amazing with a tablespoon of pesto also!
Try it!!
Bon Appetit My Friends!:drinker:

That is not even close to Alfredo sauce. Butter, garlic, Parmesan cheese. That's Alfredo sauce.

Close. Alfredo sauce has cream as well.

Traditional alfredo sauce doesn't have cream

Sure does. Remember quite well when I was staging in Rome as a chef.

Here's the dope on the original.

I'm not a professional chef, but I know a couple executive chefs and they have told me...the original 1914 recipe did not have cream. It was solely butter and cheese. The cream is a variation from the US.

Yeah, I've heard that before and could be true as restaurants generally do adapt to conditions. For example, try ordering spaghetti carbonara and get it without cream, not going to happen. The cream helps hold the sauce for service, much the same way restaurants add cream to beurre blanc. I'll give it a try, can't possibly be a a bad thing.

This. Americans are funny about changing recipes and then calling them "traditional [insert country of origin]." Just look at all the "traditional" Chinese food in American Chinese restaurants (most everything in Chinese restaurants are 100% American creations, very loosely based on a Chinese dish, most would be totally unrecognizable in China.)
