You can enjoy the creamy goodness of traditional Fettuccine Alfredo in a lighter way. The richness of Parmesan and cream cheese is combined with the salty taste of crispy bacon in this recipe, which also lowers the fat content for a guilt-free treat.
Ingredients: 8 oz fettuccine pasta. 4 slices of bacon, diced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup low-fat milk. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese. 1 tablespoon butter. Salt and pepper to taste. Chopped parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Cook fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a skillet, cook diced bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add milk, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and butter to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Serve the fettuccine Alfredo topped with crispy bacon and chopped parsley for garnish.
