Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 300 grams spaghettini pasta, uncooked
  • 1 1/4 cups 25%-less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/3 cup Philadelphia Light Cream Cheese Spread
  • 3 tablespoons Kraft 100% Light Parmesan Grated Cheese, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Cook pasta as directed on package.
  2. Meanwhile, mix broth and flour in medium saucepan. Add cream cheese spread, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and nutmeg; cook 2 minutes or until mixture comes to boil and thickens, stirring constantly with whisk.
  3. Drain pasta; toss with sauce in large bowl. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and parsley.

Footnotes

  • Makeover - How We Did It: With butter and heavy whipping cream, Alfredo sauce can pack a lot of calories. Instead, our lighter version uses a combination of Philadelphia Light Cream Cheese Spread, chicken broth and flour and also reduces the amount of grated Parmesan.
  • Flavour Boost: Garlic lovers can add 1/8 tsp. garlic powder to sauce with the nutmeg and pepper.
  • Serving Suggestion: For extra flavour, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
