This ricotta Alfredo sauce is a low-fat alternative to traditional Alfredo sauce. Most of the time, I add chicken to make it a complete meal!

Ingredients

8 ounces fettuccini pasta
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups skim milk
⅔ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch boiling water; cover. Cook until tender but still firm, 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick, about 15 minutes.
Stir in ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Stir in steamed broccoli and cooked pasta. Sprinkle with parsley.
