How to Make Low Fat Alfredo Sauce

  1. Melt 1/4 cup margarine and 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon (or vegetable bouillon for vegetarian option) in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat.
  2. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue stirring constantly.
  4. Increase heat to medium-low and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Continue stirring gently for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is perfectly smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve immediately over 1 lb of cooked pasta.
