How to Make Lighter Alfredo Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant (about 2 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of milk and ½ cup of heavy cream.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup of grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Gradually add the cheese mixture to the milk and cream mixture, whisking constantly until smooth and creamy.
- Increase heat to medium-low and continue stirring frequently until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately over cooked whole wheat pasta, tossed with cooked scallops, peas, and mushrooms.
