Recipe by PrincessCalynn

This sauce is lower in fat than traditional Alfredo Sauce but full of flavour. Great as a side with grilled chicken or double it for a meal with meat filled pasta.

INGREDIENTS

Nutrition

1

cup 1% low-fat milk (skim may be used, but creates a thinner sauce)
1 ¹⁄₂

tablespoons butter
1 ¹⁄₂

tablespoons flour
3

tablespoons parmesan cheese
¹⁄₂

teaspoon minced garlic
1

dash pepper

DIRECTIONS

The key here is patience, add all ingredients gradually!
Melt butter in sauce pan on stove top with medium heat.
Gradually whisk in flour.
This will create a yellow paste.
Gradually add milk, whisking until incorporated and no lumps are present.
Continue to whisk until hot.
Usually 3-5 minutes.
The longer you cook the base (without the cheese) the thicker the sauce will be.
Add parmesan slowly, again whisking until incorporated.
Add crushed garlic and pepper.
Cook for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Remove from heat.
