Weight Watchers Linguine Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients

1 tbsp butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp flour

1 cup fat-free milk

1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup broccoli florets

1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 inch pieces

1 carrot, thinly sliced

4 cups hot cooked linguine

Directions

In a medium non-stick saucepan over medium low heat, melt the butter. Saute the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the flour, then gradually whisk in the milk; cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cream cheese and Parmesan; cook, stirring until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, place the broccoli, pepper and carrot in a steamer basket; set in saucepan over 1 inch of boiling water. Cover and steam until tender crisp, about 3 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the pasta and steamed vegetables. Add the cheese sauce; toss to coat thoroughly. Serve at once.
