1. Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine, uncooked
- 1 1/4 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 4 teaspoons flour
- 1/3 cup PHILADELPHIA Light Cream Cheese Spread
- 3 tablespoons KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2. Cooking Directions
- Cook pasta as directed on package.
- Meanwhile, combine broth and flour in medium saucepan. Stir in cream cheese spread, 2 Tbsp. of the Parmesan cheese, the nutmeg and pepper; cook 2 min., stirring constantly with wire whisk until mixture boils and thickens.
- Drain pasta. Toss with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
With light cream cheese we skipped the cream but kept the creamy taste in this classic dish.
Notes:
Flavor Boost
Garlic lovers can add 1/8 tsp. garlic powder.
Makeover Savings
The chicken broth, flour and PHILADELPHIA Light Cream Cheese Spread replace the butter and heavy cream used in the traditional recipe. The amount of KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese is also decreased. By making these changes, you'll save 300 calories and 34 grams of fat per serving compared to a traditional recipe.

Low-fat alfredo sauce actually came out well
Sam - March 14, 2007 04:37:45 AM PSTI was surprised how good it tasted. And my girlfriend liked it. While it can\'t beat real alfredo sauce, not a bad alternative!

Very tasty!
Delectable Creations - November 12, 2007 01:16:43 PM PSTThis was so yummy and I found a few ways to make it even healthier than even this recipe is. Even with a few healthier alternatives ( like fat free cream cheese) it was still extremely tasty!

Suprisingly Good
Michael M - November 19, 2007 07:14:11 AM PSTI\'m a die hard for traditional Italian food and would normally snub my nose at a recipie like this but it was actually quite good and flavorful. Was nice to have such a rich meal without all the fat that comes from the heavy cream. Worth a try for sure.
