How to Make Low Fat Alfredo Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat until foaming.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden brown and fragrant.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/4 cup of chicken broth, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until the sauce has slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove the garlic cloves from the sauce.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of grated Romano cheese.
- Continue stirring until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- At this point, you can remove the sauce from the heat while you cook your pasta or continue to cook the sauce with the pasta.
- Whisk the sauce until smooth and your desired consistency is reached.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add any other desired elements, such as cooked shrimp, vegetables, or herbs.
- Serve immediately over your favorite pasta.
