    I found this recipe, which is basically a white sauce made from a roux, adding in low fat milk and parmesan (plus some other stuff, garlic etc.)

    I make alfredo sauce the normal way (butter, heavy cream, parmesan, garlic) and just eat a small portion with a huge serving of vegetables to go with it.

    Blitz low fat cottage cheese in the food processor and add some grated parmesan as well as other flavourings such as garlic or garlic powder and pepper.

    Alfredo sauce is basically pure fat.....it should already be diabetic friendly

    The real Fetuccine al Burro is just Pasta, Young/Fresh Parmesan Cheese (No the aged hardened kind) and butter.
    Fetuccine Alfredo is just a name a restaurant owner gave it and it stuck.

    The Sauce should not be the problem. The pasta, on the other hand, is going to cause some spikes.

    I'm not sure what the diabetic restriction is on alfredo but walmart carries various "lighter" versions.

    Instead of cream I'd use 2% milk, and go easier on the parmesan. Also would add some chives or other herbs for added flavour and plenty of black pepper.

    What others have said. Use vegetable noodles like Zuchini or Spaghetti Squash and you should be able to easily have real Alfredo Sauce. It's just heavy cream, garlic and parm. There aren't carbs in it (or barely some in the heavy cream).

    Well since regular Alfredo is so rich and creamy, you don't need very much of it, which helps with the calories as well.

    Not an exact swap for alfredo but I love to put an ounce of goat cheese in a serving of pasta. The goat cheese leaves a creamy tangy coating on the pasta (or low-carb alternative) and toppings if you mix it all up in a warm pan. I never bother making cream sauces, this is too easy and about 75 cal for one ounce.

    So somebody made a completely different recipe (because alfredo sauce is not just unaged parmesan and butter) with a completely different name, and you somehow come up with idea that it's a poor copy of something else?
