FETTUCCINI ALFREDO VI
Just as good as the cholesterol-laden original. Created for diabetics, but great for anyone trying to reduce their fat intake. For added flavor try using a garlic and herb Parmesan cheese blend and to increase fiber content use whole wheat pasta. Easily doubled for when you need more than 2 servings. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Start with high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and unsalted butter are essential.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking the pasta until it is firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce well.
- Make the sauce in advance: You can make the Alfredo sauce up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat it gently over low heat before serving.
- Add vegetables or protein: For a more filling meal, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables to the pasta.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Freshly chopped parsley, basil, or chives add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
