Lightened-Up Alfredo Sauce
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
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 16 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets
Instructions
1
Heat oil in a medium-sized cooking vessel over an intermediate heat setting. Introduce sliced onions and minced garlic into the pan, allowing them to soften until they reach a golden hue.
2
In a separate, smaller cooking vessel, combine milk, chicken broth, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture over a low heat setting until it becomes smooth and free of lumps, then gradually incorporate this mixture into the pan with the onions. Continue to cook over a low-medium heat setting, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened to your liking. Introduce grated Parmesan cheese into the pan and stir until well combined.
3
Simultaneously, cook pasta in boiling water. Add broccoli florets to the pasta for the final few minutes of cooking, ensuring they retain their crunch. Continue cooking until the pasta reaches your desired level of doneness.
4
Remove the cooked pasta and vegetables from the heat source, then transfer them to a large serving container. Combine the sauce with the pasta and vegetables in the bowl, stirring until everything is well coated. Present your dish and serve immediately.
