Alfredo Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1 1/2 T. cornstarch
- 1 Cup reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup light cream cheese
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
In med. saucepan, whisk the milk and cornstarch until smooth. Whisk in the broth and place over low heat. Add the cream cheese, garlic powder and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the parm cheese and cook 1 to 2 minutes more.
This makes enough for 6 servings of the pasta, chicken and broccoli recipe in her book.
I add a pinch of nutmeg to it; just adds a little something to a white sauce.
