Skinny Fettuccine Alfredo

Step 1

Make sauce. Heat olive oil and butter in a medium stock pan, over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir for about 30 seconds. Add flour and stir again, until flour is well absorbed, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

Add chicken broth, milk, and half and half, and whisk until mixture starts to thicken. This will take a few minutes. Reduce heat to low, and stir in parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, until cheese melts and sauce is nice and creamy.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot, with plenty of salt and water. Cook until al dente and reserve a bit of pasta water.

Step 4

Use a tongs to transfer cooked pasta directly to the Alfredo sauce. Stir well and add extra pasta water as needed to thin the sauce.

Step 5

Serve pasta with extra parmesan and some freshly ground black pepper.
