I make this alfredo all the time because it's a family favorite, not only over pasta, but also as the sauce for pizza, layered in a lasagna or even as a dipping sauce for garlic bread. It's so easy and tastes WAY better than the stuff in a jar from the store. I make it low-fat by using skim milk and it turns out great every time.

Yields1 Serving

3 tbsp Butter

3 tbsp All-purpose Flour

2 cups Fat Free Milk

7 cloves minced Garlic

¾ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

1 ¼ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Pepper

Heat the butter on medium heat. When melted, add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute.

Add the flour and whisk into the butter and garlic until a doughy texture is formed (this is your roux).

Slowly pour and whisk in the milk until mixture is combined. Cook on medium heat while whisking continuously until sauce thickens (approximately 5-6 minutes).

Add and stir in cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir constantly and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
