Skinny Fettuccine Alfredo recipe: Easy dinner, healthy pasta | One Hungry Mama

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

Cook fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, cooking for 2-3 minutes.

Add grated parmesan cheese to the cream mixture and stir until melted and smooth.

Season with black pepper and salt to taste, adjusting as necessary.

Drain the fettuccine, reserving some pasta water.

Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.

If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley before serving.
