    I buy a light classico alfredo sauce, but they pepper the **** out of that sauce.. so be careful.

    Honestly buttermilk is really healthy so... you can use that as a dairy base.

    I have a faux alfredo using chevre.

    Sautee crushed garlic and ground pepper, salt, oregano. Add 1/8 cup unsweetend almond milk, half package of soft plain goat chevre. I toss with sauteed veggies and grilled chicken and skip the pasta :)

    This is honestly THE BEST alfredo sauce I have ever had! And its only 100 calories for a 1/4 cup ( i don't know how you can only have 1/4 cup of this stuff- it's THAT GOOD)! My boyfriend could eat chicken broccoli alfredo for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so I make this this seeing as it's guilt free anddd I just hate the canned stuff!

    Enjoy!


    2C low fat milk
    1/3 C low fat cream cheese
    2-3 T flour
    1t salt
    1T butter
    3 garlic cloves (I use the minced garlic in the jar- so convenient!)
    1C grated Parmesan cheese

    Put milk, cream cheese, flour and salt in a saucepan. Cook over med-hi heat until it's nice and smooth. About 7-10 minutes. (Don't forget to STIR constantly!)

    In a saucepan, melt butter over med-hi heat. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add milk mix to the pan and stir for 3-4 minutes, or until it comes to a simmer. Stir for another 2 minutes.

    When it's become thick enough, remove the pan from heat and add the cheese. Stir and cover. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

    ..And that's it! I usually just skip the resting step because everyone is just eager to get their hands on some pasta! It's so easy and delicious and you honestly won't believe how these simple ingredients can taste that good!
