Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Fettuccine (whole wheat or low-calorie alternative, such as tofu shirataki noodles)
- 2 tbsp Low-fat cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Onion powder
- 0.125 tsp Salt
- 0.125 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare your fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. If using tofu shirataki noodles, rinse them thoroughly and boil for 2-3 minutes to remove any lingering odor. Then drain well and pat dry.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the low-fat cream cheese and unsweetened almond milk. Whisk constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked and drained fettuccine noodles to the saucepan. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the creamy sauce.
Transfer the fettuccine to a serving plate or bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, for added flavor and a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, guilt-free Fettuccine Hungry Girlfredo!
