I adapted this from a similar recipe on recipezaar to suit my low fat diet needs. This is a GREAT base recipe or even great on it's own! You can put virtually anything in this and it's fun to play around with the cheese too...sometimes i sue a parmesan and fontina blend to give it a little bit of a different flavor. I prefer to use Barilla Plus pasta for this. I love the lightness of this cheese sauce, it's a great alternative to Alfredo! Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) box whole wheat penne |
3/4 cup vegetable broth (chicken may also be used) |
3/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
4 garlic cloves |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1/2 tablespoon butter |
3 teaspoons flour |
sea salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook box of penne per package directions and keep warm.
2. Mince garlic and sauté in butter/olive oil blend until garlic is slightly golden.
3. Add broth and milk.
4. Add 3 tsp flour, salt/pepper to taste.
5. Simmer and stir constantly until sauce thickens.
6. Pour over warm pasta, coat and enjoy!
7. **You can put anything in this, chicken, broccoli, any vegetables - play with it! Have fun with it!
