light alfredo

A skinny take on Alfredo Sauce that tastes just as rich and creamy and the original. Super easy to make, and gluten free!

Skinny Alfredo Sauce

almond milk

cornstarch

tbsp 1/3 less fat (light) cream cheese

cheese

tsp kosher salt

garlic powder

black pepper

In a medium sauce pan, whisk together almond milk , cornstarch, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Turn heat to high and bring to a slow boil, whisking frequently so cornstarch doesn&#x27;t stick to the bottom of the pan.

Turn heat to low and continue to cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Whisk in cream cheese, one tablespoon at a time, until melted.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese in slowly, whisking as you go. If you try to add all the cheese in at one time, it might clump together. Once all cheese is added, finish with cracked pepper.

If serving with pasta, add sauce to pasta and cook together for about a minute, to thicken the sauce. Otherwise, take sauce off heat and let cool for about 5-10 minutes to thicken up.

A light and simple alfredo sauce that's butter- and cream-free, and packs a ton of flavor thanks to fresh garlic, parmesan cheese and a spoonful of pesto. A ciabatta roll makes the perfect companion to this dish with its light and fluffy texture - but feel free to substitute baguette or another style of bread if you don't have it on hand.

Light Alfredo Sauce &amp; Cheesy Garlic Ciabatta

Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

garlic ((minced))

milk

veggie broth ((DIY

flour

salt and pepper

Parmesan cheese

pesto ((I used basil))

red pepper flake ((optional))

pasta ((boiled))

ciabatta bread roll

Tbsp butter

garlic powder ((or fresh garlic))

mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C).

Heat medium to large saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil and garlic, stirring quickly to ensure it doesn't burn.

Next, add milk and veggie broth and stir.

Then, begin adding 1 Tbsp of flour at a time, stirring with a whisk to reduce clumps. I recommend starting with 2-3 Tbsp (as original recipe is written) and adding more later if needed. You can also thicken with extra parmesan cheese. Add salt, pepper, red pepper flake, pesto, cheese and stir.

Bring a pot to a boil and cook pasta at this time. Drain and set aside.

Reduce heat on sauce slightly and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you notice the sauce is too thin, add a little more flour. If too thick, add a little more milk.

In the meantime, split your ciabatta roll in half and butter lightly. Slice it into thick strips, add the parmesan, garlic powder and mozzarella and place in the oven on a baking sheet.

Watch closely - it should only take 5 minutes to toast up. Remove from oven when lightly browned and cheese is melted.

If you have clumps in your sauce at this point (I usually have a few), pour mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. Then return to saucepan, add your favorite pasta, toss and serve immediately.
