Healthy Alfredo Sauce
This Healthy Alfredo Sauce is luxuriously creamy and tastes decadently rich but without all the extra fat or guilt! It's made with olive oil, skim milk, chicken broth and a roux for a significantly lightened up version without heavy cream, butter or cream cheese. The sauce is seasoned to perfection and uses both Parmesan and mozzarella for an dynamic dimension of flavor. This Healthy Alfredo Sauce is completely customizable - serve it plain over your favorite pasta or zoodles or add chicken or shrimp and any of your favorite veggies. Healthy never tasted so rich!
