Dr Ozs Healthy Diet Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe By Dave Lieberman

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook until the garlic is slightly soft, about 1 minute. Add in the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook, whisking constantly, until just thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the Neufchâtel and parmesan cheese; whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot. Add the sauce and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the pasta and gently toss to combine, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with parmesan and pepper.

Steps:

• Cook the cauliflower for 20 minutes until it is soft. (steam or boil) I prefer to steam mine.
• Cook the shallots over medium heat until translucent (around 10 minutes). Add the chicken stock and continue to cook for another few minutes.
• Once the shallots and cauliflower has cooled, pop it into your blender and puree until it is perfectly silky and smooth. You don't want any chunks, because this is your alfredo sauce!
• Toss the alfredo sauce over your whole wheat pasta and add the parmesan cheese. Serve warm immediately. (You could also steam some broccoli and add to the pasta with some grilled chicken, yum.).

Steps:

• Steam the cauliflower for 20 minutes until very soft. In a small sauce pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat and cook the shallots until soft and translucent, stirring often, for about 10 minutes. Add the chicken stock and cook for 5 minutes longer. Set aside to cool.
• In a large blender, combine the cooked cauliflower and the shallot-chicken stock mixture and purée until silky smooth. Pour the puree into the sauce pan and heat over medium heat until steaming.
• Remove from the heat, toss in the cooked pasta and add the grated parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper and divide between 2 serving bowls. Top with more parmesan cheese.
