Healthy Fettuccine Alfredo

www.DrWeigh.com

My family has discovered a healthy way to eat Fettuccine Alfredo. We found a packet of Alfredo Sauce mix from Knorr's at our local supermarket. There are 180 calories and 4.5 grams of fat in the entire package (which served our entire family). The directions call for butter/margarine and milk but we didn't follow them. Instead, we mixed the packet with skim milk and omitted the buter/margarine completely. I will admit that the sauce was slightly thin- but it was delicious. We served the sauce over whole wheat fettuccine. My children went crazy for it. My daughter said, "Mommy, I love this!" My son proclaimed, "This is my new favorite dinner!" I was thrilled- although I did warn them that we would NEVER order the dish in a restaurant because the restaurant version is so unhealthy. Try it and let me know what you think!
