WW pasta alfredo - 9 pts

5 oz uncooked linguini

1 1/2 oz cooked canadian-style bacon, chopped

1 small onion(s), red, finely chopped

2 medium garlic clove(s), crushed

6 tbsp vegetable broth

1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tbsp water

3/4 oz grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp chives, chopped

1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste

 

 

 

 

Add pasta to large pot of boiling water; cook, uncovered, until tender, drain.

 

 

Return pan to heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring, until onion is soft. Stir

in broth and milk. Bring to a boil, stir in combined cornstarch and water.

Simmer, uncovered, until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.

 

 

Just before serving add pasta and cheese to sauce. Cook, stirring, until cheese

is melted, about 2 minutes.

 

 

Serve pasta topped with bacon, sprinkle with chives and pepper. Serve this dish

with a large garden salad on the side.

 

 

We renovated Pasta Alfredo by: Substituting the cream for evaporated skim milk.

Using bacon as a garnish, not a staple. Opting for a small amount of good

quality, Parmesan cheese, rather than a lot of the average kind. You can further

renovate this dish by bulking the sauce out with vegetables such as tomatoes,

snow peas or beans.

Cream, Parmesan, bacon ... no wonder Pasta Alfredo is such a favored dish. But

when an average serving costs between 18 and 27 POINTS, it's not a meal you can

enjoy too often. By making simple substitutions we've transformed Pasta Alfredo

to a more healthy 9 POINTS per serving.
