This Alfredo dish is a light version of a creamy classic Italian-style dish! Add sautéed onions, garlic, and lightly cooked broccoli, and you have created a terrific dish! I sometimes substitute peas for broccoli.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion , chopped
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups skim milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 16 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
  • 1 package frozen broccoli florets , 16 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until golden brown.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, stir together milk, chicken broth, flour, salt, and pepper over low heat until smooth and thick. Stir into onion mixture. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, frequently stirring, until sauce is thick. Stir in Parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling water. Add broccoli to pasta for the last several minutes of cooking. Continue cooking until pasta is al dente.

  4. 4

    Drain pasta and vegetables, and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with sauce. Serve.
