Anyone who has read my blog, probably knows that I am obsessed with fettuccine alfredo. However, it's not the healthiest of meals......BUT, I found this guiltless alfredo recipe and was SO happy with how good it was, with much fewer calories!!! In fact, there was only 227 calories for a full bowl of the sauce we used on our fettuccine! Yeah, I'm pretty much stoked about this. Now I can make alfredo whenever I want and not feel guilty about it. Not only that, but it is delicious. Enjoy!
