Light Alfredo

Remember to reserve pasta cooking water after cooking the pasta.

1. In a medium sauce pan, add butter and olive oil. Allow butter to melt.
2. Once butter is melted, add minced garlic. Let cook for about 2 minutes
3. Add flour and cook another minute. You don’t want the flour flavor, but need the flour for thickening.
4. Next, pour in milk, and whisk for about 1 minute.
5. Then add cream cheese and mix again, then add the Parmesan cheese. Add a bit of salt and pepper.
6. After about 2 more minutes, add the reserved pasta water to help thin it out.
7. Pour sauce in pasta and mix well.
