Fettuccine Alfredo

I've always heard that fettuccine alfredo wasn't that healthy, especially the sauce. But when making it homemade, you know what ingredients go into it, so it's not as unhealthy. The link above mentions that other sauces use heavy cream and a lot of Parmesan cheese in the recipe, but this recipe I used doesn't call for any heavy cream, and it only calls for 2 Tbsp. of Parmesan cheese. Very yummy!


Ingredients:
1 cup fettuccine pasta
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
parsley flakes

Directions:
Cook fettuccine according to directions. Melt butter. Stir flour into butter until you have a nice paste. Slowly stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Stir in garlic and salt and cook one more minute. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Divide pasta onto two plates. Pour Alfredo sauce over pasta and sprinkle parsley on top.


We didn't have fettuccine pasta, so we just used egg noodles. It was delicious!
