Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce

Submitted by Anacat

"Everyone seems to have had one of those "healthy" Alfredo sauces that taste like glue. This one is easy and has a nice creamy taste, without the fat. It can be mixed with chicken, shrimp, scallops or your choice of firm white fish, thoroughly browned and cubed. I like adding the peas to the sauce, but they can also be served on the side."

This recipe was great! And much healthier than some of the others I found while searching. I did add a tsp of corn starch to thicken the consistency, but other than that this worked well with my baked cajun alfredo pasta!!
