Fettucine Alfredo (From Cooking Light)

Recipe #292194 | 35 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: LonghornMama

From Cooking Light's Five Star Recipes, this was one of a handful of Editor's Choice recipes. A lovely sauce for pasta that's much lighter than traditional alfredo. Recipe calls for light process cream cheese which is reduced-fat cream cheese in the little tub. I have used reduced-fat cream cheese in the block without a problem. Original recipe also calls for margarine but I have never use the stuff so have listed butter in the ingredient list. Fettucine should be cooked without salt or fat and kept hot until sauce is added.
