How to Make Fat Free Alfredo Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. This creates a slurry.
  4. Slowly whisk the arrowroot slurry into the boiling broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. The sauce will thicken as it simmers.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded reduced-fat Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to your preference.
  8. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta or vegetables.
