âI indulge my weakness for Fettuccine Alfredo with this trimmer tortellini. It has the same rich flavor without the heaviness,â says Mitzi Sentiff, Annapolis, Maryland. Nutmeg adds a lovely accent to the sauce. Ingredients:
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini |
3/4 pound fresh broccoli florets |
1 envelope alfredo sauce mix |
1-1/2 cups fat-free milk |
2 teaspoons reduced-fat butter |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook tortellini according to package directions, adding broccoli during the last few minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk the sauce mix and milk. Add butter and nutmeg; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
2. Drain tortellini and broccoli; place in a large bowl. Stir in the Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese and pepper. Yield: 4 servings.
