Light Alfredo Sauce

By carvalhohm

Chicken broth, cream cheese, and parmesan are the essential ingredients in this recipe for light Alfredo sauce. Try it on pasta, chicken, or broccoli—it's delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup light cream cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup parmsan cheese, grated

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk the milk and cornstarch until smooth. Whisk in the broth and place over low heat. Add the cream cheese, garlic powder and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the parmesan cheese and cook 1 to 2 minutes more.

This makes enough for 6 servings of pasta, chicken and broccoli.

I add a pinch of nutmeg to it; just adds a little something to a white sauce.
