Lower-Fat Alfredo Sauce

This recipe has become a favorite of ours because it has a taste similar to the higher-fat restaurant Alfredo sauce. If you add a few tbsp of white wine before you add the flour, it gives it an even deeper flavor. I usually make this with fettucini noodles and grilled chicken or salmon.
