How to Make Low Fat Lite Alfredo Sauce

  1. Combine 1 cup (240ml) low-fat milk, 1/2 cup (120ml) fat-free plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup (30g) grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and add 1/4 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened and is heated through (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in an additional 1/4 cup (packed) fresh basil, or to taste. Season with extra salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Let the sauce simmer on very low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, vegetables, or use as a sauce for lasagna. Enjoy!
