Reduced Fat Alfredo Sauce

By longhornfans

Ingredients

• 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 (add extra!)
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (add extra!)
• 1 dash pepper
• SUGGESTION: Add thyme for additional flavor!

Preparation

Step 1

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