Sauces - Reduced fat alfredo sauce recipe

Author: Doretha Henderson

Lacking the ingredients for a proper Alfredo ( and concerned about the fat load in regular Alfredo) I scrounged around my cupboards and refrigerator and used what I had. I made this when I had some left over garlic shrimp and wanted to do a shrimp alfredo over whole wheat pasta.

Low Fat Alfredo Sauce

I made this when I had some left over garlic shrimp and wanted to do a shrimp alfredo over whole wheat pasta. Lacking the ingredients for a proper Alfredo ( and concerned about the fat load in regular Alfredo) I scrounged around my cupboards and refrigerator and used what I had. The result was wonderful! The roux adds the thickening missing by not using heavy cream and the buttermilk adds a delicious and fat-free tang.
