I adapted this recipe from Rocco Dispirito's now eat this diet book. This recipe gives the feel of eating alfredo without all the fat. I was sceptical at first but it is actually pretty good. This recipe should also be able to easily adapt into a chicken alfredo, lean beef stroganoff, or maybe a nice sauce for a veggie lasagna. The now eat this books were a great find. I left none of the recipes as they were, but they gave me some good ideas to work with. A good investment if you looking to lose weight and eat better. 

INGREDIENTS

You can use what ever size shrimp you like. I use large but bigger will work. Just don't use salad shrimp they are terrible, even in salad, go figure. I use fat free greek yogurt but you can use 2% if you like. It won't hurt you too much and will add a little flavor.

1 lb fettuccine noodles
2 lb shrimp
1 bag frozen peas
2 tbs butter
6 garlic cloves chopped
6 tsp corn starch
6 dashes nutmeg
2.5 cups chicken broth
1 cup reduced fat Parmesan cheese
1 lg fat free greek yogurt
sat
pepper 

DIRECTIONS

1- Cook pasta per directions on package. Just before pasta is done add thawed shrimp and frozen peas to boiling pasta. Drain when shrimp is done about 2-3 minutes.

2- Melt butter in non-stick pan. Add chopped garlic and saute for about 2 minutes.

3- Whisk broth into starch and nutmeg then add to the non-stick pan and simmer. Mix in cheese and remove from from heat when melted, then mix in greek yogurt.

4- Add pasta to sauce and toss or serve sauce over noodles. Add more cheese if needed but not too much. Salt and pepper if desired.
