How to Make Wwltmom's Alfredo Sauce Made Lighter
- Combine 1 cup cottage cheese and 1/4 cup powdered milk in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- In a 1 1/2-quart saucepan, whisk together 2 cups milk, 2 cloves minced garlic, and the blended cottage cheese mixture.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warm but not boiling. (approx 5 minutes)
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or 3 tablespoons cornstarch) and 1/4 cup cold water until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Slowly whisk the arrowroot (or cornstarch) slurry into the warm milk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over low heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a simmer.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of white pepper.
- Stir gently until the cheese is melted and the sauce is well combined. Avoid over-stirring, as this can thin the sauce.
- Toss the sauce with your favorite hot pasta.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
