Ingredients

  1. 8 ounces fettuccine, uncooked
  2. 1 1/4 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
  3. 4 teaspoons flour
  4. 1/3 cup PHILADELPHIA Light Cream Cheese Spread
  5. 3 tablespoons KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
  6. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  7. 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  8. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Cooking Directions

  1. Cook pasta as directed on package.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

    I 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!

    This 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

    I'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.

    I never seem to have enough time to cook, but this was so fast and easy! Even re-heated it was creamy.
