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!

    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

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

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