Hi MFP! I was wondering if any of you have any alfredo sauce recommendations.. that are mainly low in sodium & sugar.. something more on the healthier side..

I want to try alfredo sauce with veggies & tofu shirataki noodles. I've been craving pasta so why not give this a try?! Lol :)

    I got this one from someone here: cook cauliflower till tender, place in blender with 3-4 wedges of parmesan peppercorn weight watcher cheese or 3-4 Tbl parmesan cheese, s/p and garlic to taste. It is yummy as a soup or sauce. I sometimes use other flavors like bleu cheese or the Jalapeno. Consistency changes depending on how much water you add back in the blender

    You wont even taste the cauliflower. I make a recipe that is similar and even my kids loved it.


    Start with a head of cauliflower and cook it in 2 cups of chicken broth.
    In another pan, sautee 1 dided medium onion and 2 cloves of diced garlic in a bit of olive oil

    When its all cooked, throw it all into a blender (broth and all) and add in a 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, blend until pureed.

    CREAMY AND DELICIOUS!!!!

    what is he calorie content on something like this. It sounds good. I also know Hungry Girl does "I can't believe it's not potato salad" using cauliflower that I have heard is excellent. I can't wait to try this!

    Classico has a light jarred one that I liked. But i'm not that picky about Alfredo.

    Fresh - Garlic (1 Clove), 2 medium clove (4g)
    Onions - Raw, 1 cup, chopped
    Bertolli - Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2.5 ttsp.

    I made this for the first time last night!

    1 8 oz pkg Shirataki Fettuccine (sp)
    2 Laughin Cow Wedges, Light Swiss
    1 TBSP Fat free greek yogurt
    2 TBSP romano, I used fresh ground, I might scale back on the stuff out of a can
    Salt & Pepper

    I rinsed the noodles for 10 mintues, then put them in a dry 10 inch pan and sauteed until they were super dry. I don't <gasp> have a microwave, but making the sauce would be easier in one. Melt all the cheese and yogurt together then add noddles and briefly toss over heat. Spinkle with S &P.

    This is a rip-off of the Hungry Girl recipe, I totally admit.

    I rather enjoyed it, the sauce was incredibly rich, the noodles were a bit odd but okay. With whole wheat pasta it would be DIVINE.
