Blend milk, ricotta, yogurt, onion, garlic, salt and nutmeg in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Heat oil in large saute pan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in the blended ricotta mixture until smooth. Simmer sauce until it thickens, about 8 minutes.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and pepper. If the sauce gets too thick, thin it out with a little pasta water. Stir in cooked pasta.
Notes:
If you don't have a blender, you can make the sauce in a food processor.
Can I make Alfredo Sauce ahead of time? Yes. Blend together milk, ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, onion, garlic, salt, and nutmeg. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Since there is no heavy cream in this dish, we use the thickening power of flour to create a creamy sauce.
