I've been trying to cook lower fat meals for Sean since his surgery, which hasn't been easy. I remember hearing on The Biggest Loser that one guy made Alfredo with Greek yogurt instead of cream for a healthier alternative. So, I found this recipe from Campbell's Kitchen. I love them. We were skeptical about this recipe since it uses chicken broth but it was actually pretty good! If I didn't know about the substitutions I don't think I would even know it was low-fat. This recipe has 270 calories per serving and only 3g fat per serving. Regular Alfredo sauce recipes have close to 1,000 calories and 40g fat. Ouch!!!
