Fettucine pasta with Alfredo sauce

Hi everyone,

How is it going? I hope you all had a great weekend. I want  to share a simple, easy, tasty and healthy recipe with you guys. Alfredo sauce is known for its high calorie content because of its ingredients but here is  a recipe for low fat Alfredo sauce with fettucine pasta which tastes just as yummy.

Ingredients:

• whole-wheat fettucine pasta;
• skimmed evaporated milk;
• turkey breast;
• olive oil;
• onions, garlic cloves, salt, chili pepper;
• basil, grated cheese (optional);

Method:

• place pasta to cook in a pot of boiling water and add a little bit of olive oil; leave the pasta to parboil for about 15 - 20 minutes;
• while pasta is cooking, place turkey breast in a frying pan, add little bit of chili pepper and salt and stir fry until slightly brown;

• once turkey breast is golden brown, set it aside in a bowl. Pasta should be parboiled at this point, excess water should be drained and set aside until its ready to be used;
• in the same frying pan used to stir fry the chicken, add a spoon of olive oil and add garlic and onions;
• fry garlic & onion until golden brown and add the milk in. I used more than half a can of the milk because the pasta was a large portion and also I wanted a bit of liquid with the pasta as well;

• add turkey breast to the mixture stir a little bit and leave till bubbles start to form. This should be about 5 mins after the milk is poured in;

 

• Once bubble forms, the pasta is ready to go in. Slowly toss the pasta in and stir gently. 
• Leave pasta to cook for about another  5 - 8 minutes. You can taste for salt and add to your desired taste.

• Once pasta is soft, it can be served with basil leaves and grated parmesan cheese on top of it;
• I did not have mine with basil leaves or grated cheese because I did not have any at home;

I did not take pictures of the meal on my plate before I ate it because I was too hungry. My sister loved it though and she does not like alfredo sauce so thumbs up for me :) You can add veggies and substitute the fettucine pasta for any other type of pasta you desire. Also, you can substitute the turkey breast for chicken breast. It is a quick and healthy dish to prepare while keeping the calories in check. Please let me know if anyone tries this at home. Thank you guys for taking the time to stop by and read. 

Until next time guys,

Its not miss Bee, its mummy...xxx
