As a busy home health nurse, I'm committed to preparing meals that are quick and nutritious, shares Susan Houser of Anchorage, Alaska. I came up with this rich and creamy sauce that is lower in fat than traditional white sauce. Dinner guests never believe it is made with fat-free milk. Ingredients:
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
4 cups fat-free milk |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
hot cooked spaghetti or linguine |
Directions:
1. In a nonstick skillet, saute garlic in oil until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended (mixture will be thick). Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; gradually stir in Parmesan cheese and basil until cheese is melted. Serve over pasta. Yield: 8 servings.
