This recipe from Cuisine at Home is a great guilt-free alfredo sauce.  We absolutely loved this version.  I would have never guessed this was low cal/low fat.  It is really creamy and full of flavor.  It is also extremely easy to make.  The base of the sauce can be prepared up to a week in advance.  You could blend it up on Sunday and serve it any night of the week.  This is the only alfredo sauce I will make from now on.  We served this sauce with some simple grilled garlic chicken.  It was a fantastic meal!

Give this a try for Valentines Day – it will help balance out all the sweet treats that you might happen to indulge in.

  1. I love our alfredo sauces but I am 99.99% certain that none of them are low fat, lol. We will have to give this one a try.

  2. As with your other recipes, this is one I will be trying! I love pasta, and I love alfredo sauce and I love eating healthy! Thanks for all the good recipes! Teri Dingler
