This is a great, easy and tasty meal that can be thrown together in as long as it takes for the pasta to boil. I love it because it just uses a few ingredients, most of which I always have on hand. It’s also a lighter version of regular alfredo, which is a huge plus! I got this out of one of my Kraft Food & Family magazines in the Winter 2007 issue and it’s been one of our staple meals ever since. It’s so creamy and delicious and even tastes great with the additions of chicken & broccoli if you so desire. (Sorry for the terrible picture, I have got to get a light box!)

This looks great! I love alfredo sauces, but like to keep it healthy. I can’t wait to make this with some broccoli!
Don't you just love Kraft Food & Family?
Yum, it looks great. You have your light box soon enough from Joelen!! Yipee!
How funny, I’m making fettucine this weekend, too!!!! Great minds think alike right??

Excellent share 😉
