I love fettuccine alfredo! I love a good alfredo sauce. The problem, is that a regular alfredo sauce is very high in fat. Probably my favorite fettuccine alfredo is the Marie Callendar’s microwave fettuccine alfredo. It has like 33 grams of fat! Ouch! I have tried many low fat alfredo sauce type microwave meals, but they mostly suck. I wanted to see if I could do better. I found a reciped for a low fat alfredo sauce, but it was missing something. I went back and looked at a recipe for a regular version of an alferdo sauce that I had made, and like. I compared the two, and crossed them. This is the sauce I came up with. It it very good, and very low fat, and very easy to make! Give it a shot.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup fat-free cottage cheese
1/3 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup reduced fat parmesan cheese
1/8 cup Egg Beaters or similar
1/8 cup Molly McButter
dash garlic powder
dash salt
dash black pepper

Directions:
Make the alfredo sauce by pouring cottage cheese, milk, parmesan cheese, egg substitue, garlic powder, salt and pepper into a blender or food processer. Process until smooth.
Just heat it over low heat with whatever dish you are making. Serve.

*recipe can be easily doubled.
