Fettuccini Alfredo - Light Edition Recipe #245737
This is basically a recipe I found in the Looneyspoons cookbook and
altered to suit my tastes! So very yummy! Feel free to add whatever you
like - sometimes I add chicken, and sometimes I add shrimp!

SERVES 4
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta, dry

- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups 2% low-fat milk (or I have used skim)

- Mix the milk and flour together until smooth. Add to garlic.
- Increase heat to medium high. Cook and stir until it is bubbling and thickened. 4 - 5 minutes.
