Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups skim milk
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces light cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Put the oil and milk in a pan and heat until bubbly.
- Add the Parmesan and cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth
- Stir in the Italian seasoning and salt; continue to cook over medium heat for at least 2 more minutes while stirring to thicken.
- Serve with pasta or other recipes using Alfredo sauce.
Notes
- For a tomato cream sauce, add 1 cup marinara sauce with the Italian seasoning.
- Store any leftover Alfredo sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat it gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- Freezing is NOT recommended for this recipe. It's best to enjoy this Alfredo sauce fresh, as dairy-based sauces like this one may not freeze well and can separate when thawed.
