I have some new recipes. This one is a healthier (ish) version of my usual Fettuccine Alfredo (although I always make it with Squiggly Pastas, not fettuccine.)
Fettuccine Alfredo
1 lb dried fettucini (or Smart Taste rotini pasta
)
)1/4 c. fat free milk (I used 2% because Sexy Lawyer Man won't drink skim)
2 T. flour
1 1/4 c. fat free milk
1/4 c. grated Parmesan
2 t. fresh lemon juice
1/8 t. white pepper (or fresh ground black pepper is fine)
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
1 T. plus 1 1/2 t. grated Parmesan
1/4 t. salt
Cook pasta without oil or salt.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 c. milk and the flour until smooth. Heat over medium heat. Whisk in the remaining 1 1/4 c. milk. Bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes, or until thickened, stirring constantly with a flat spatula to keep the sauce from sticking to the bottom. (Seriously. Mine did stick and was a bitch to clean up.)
Stir in 1/4 c. Parmesan, lemon juice, and pepper.
To serve, transfer the warm pasta to a platter. Pour sauce over the pasta and toss. Sprinkle with the parsley, remaining Parmesan, and salt. Garnish with lemon wedges if you want.
Portion: 1 cup. Serves 8.
