This is basically a recipe I found in the Looneyspoons cookbook and altered to suit my tastes! So very yummy! Feel free to add whatever you like - sometimes I add chicken, and sometimes I add shrimp! Ingredients:
12 ounces fettuccine pasta, dry |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 -2 garlic clove, minced |
1 1/2 cups 2% low-fat milk (or i have used skim) |
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated (real is better) |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream |
1 -2 cup shrimp or 1 -2 cup chicken |
Directions:
1. Cook fettuccine. Drain and return to pot.
2. While you are cooking the pasta, prepare the sauce. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
3. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
4. Mix the milk and flour together until smooth. Add to garlic.
5. Increase heat to medium high. Cook and stir until it is bubbling and thickened. 4 - 5 minutes.
6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 -2 minutes, until cheese is melted.
7. Stir in chicken or shrimp and sour cream.
8. Cook until heated through.
9. Pour sauce over fettuccine and toss to coat.
10. Enjoy!
