Is alfredo good for you?

Healthy Alfredo Sauce. Sounds like an oxymoron, yes? But it’s not. THIS alfredo sauce is, in fact, healthy!

  • Normally? No way. 😉
  • Today? Heck. YES.

It’s also super yummy, super easy, and super tasty on things like whole wheat pasta and pizza (recipe coming Wednesday!).

Honestly, I’ve never been a huge fan of alfredo.

Growing up, per my request I’m sure, my family and I would go to the Olive Garden for dinner.

I would always order their Zuppa Toscana ♡, my brother, on the other hand, would always, always, always order their fettuccine alfredo. At one point, I actually think he found a “copy cat” recipe and made it at home.

This Healthy Alfredo Sauce is a lightened up version of a classic (530 calories for the ENTIRE recipe). Made with greek yogurt, skim milk, and parmesan! showmetheyummy.com #healthy #alfredosauceThat being said, for whatever reason, I had a huge craving for some c.r.e.a.m.y. and delicious fettuccine alfredo the other day.

BUT.

What I didn’t want, was a heavy cream, cream cheese filled sauce that would make me feel too full and weigh me down.

So . . .

What can i use instead of heavy cream for alfredo sauce?

Instead of heavy cream, today, we’re using a combination of broth (for flavor), skim milk (for consistency), and non fat plain greek yogurt (for extra creaminess).

This combination allows us to create a SUPER creamy sauce with just a fraction of the calories.

I mean. There’s a time and place for the full fat, heavy cream alfredo sauce, because it IS delicious, but spring is literally right around the corner, so something light was a must.

This Healthy Alfredo Sauce is lightened up with skim milk and your choice of broth (chicken or veggie for flava), but is kept creamy with the help of non fat plain greek yogurt, and just a teeny tiny touch of parmesan cheese.

Healthy Alfredo Sauce? Gimme.

The weather around here – Wisconsin – is seriously messing with me. One day it’s 55 and sunny and literally the next day it’s below freezing and snowing.

I really don’t mind the winter weather for the most part, mainly because there is nothing cuter than watching Teddy romp around in the snow.

However.

This Healthy Alfredo Sauce is a lightened up version of a classic (530 calories for the ENTIRE recipe). Made with greek yogurt, skim milk, and parmesan! showmetheyummy.com #healthy #alfredosauceI’m ready for some consistency and I’m ready for cute dress, flip flop weather. Anyone with me?

I’m also ready – I think – to move past the stick-to-your-ribs, ultra warm and cozy recipes and move on to the bright, sunny, refreshing recipes. The best part about spring is that you can still have a little of both, right? 🙂

This Healthy Alfredo Sauce is the p.e.r.f.e.c.t. combination.

It’s still warm and cozy, but it’s totally light.

Did I mention it’s easy, too?!

How do you make homemade alfredo sauce?

It’s actually so much easier than I thought it was going to be.

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, stir in cornstarch. This will help the alfredo sauce thicken.

Now whisk in broth and milk. Bring to a simmer, remove from heat, stir in greek yogurt, parmesan, and seasonings and you.are.done!

Ahhh. Don’t you just ♡ quick and easy recipes? I do! 🙋

Now. Lemme just say. This is NOT as thick and creamy as your typical alfredo sauce, but that’s to be expected! We’re not using butter, heavy cream, or cream cheese.

But I promise you, you’ll love it just as much. Although it’s not as thick and creamy, this Healthy Alfredo Sauce is still plenty thick and creamy, packed with flavor, and is amazing over whole wheat fettuccine.

Made with greek yogurt, skim milk, and parmesan! showmetheyummy.com #healthy #alfredosauceAnd don’t forget. It’s great on pizza, too… come back Wednesday for the recipe! In the meantime, eat this with noodles and be oh so happy.

    5 stars Just made this tonight! It was amazing! I didn’t change much, really– had 2% milk, so I used that and not quite enough plain yogurt, so I threw in a couple dollops of 1/3 less fat cream cheese. Also sautéed some garlic cloves instead of using powder. Served it over fettuccine as a side dish to go with grilled steak. We all loved it! My son went back for seconds! This one is a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

    4 stars Not bad as an alternative to more fattening and less healthy alfredo sauce dishes but I find the ones made with just butter, parmesan and pasta water (and especially egg yolks ) better tasting–though also more tricky. Also, I made this recipe differently, avoiding low-fat products, using fresh garlic, and adding spinach, mushrooms and additional garlic that I sauted in a tiny bit of olive oil beforehand and then added at the very end to heat . Since I wasn’t using low fat products, I cut the corn starch in half. I also used homemade chicken broth (quite condensed) and then added water from the pasta at the end (because the chicken brother flavor seemed too strong, probably because mine is quite dense). I made a third of the recipe for 100 grams pasta (weight dry). I put the pasta in the sauce at the end (after adding quite a bit of pasta water) and the sauce was thick and creamy and just the right amount for the 100 grams of pasta (100 grams dry). I found it a little too salty. If I were to remake this, I would skip the salt (figuring that the parmesan is salty enough).

    5 stars Once I began cooking, I realized I didn’t have Greek yogurt. I had read comments others using sour cream as sub, so that’s what I did. I also added nutmeg as others suggested. My family and I all loved this recipe over fettuccini. I loved that it was creamy, yet not so thick. I will use Greek yogurt next time and possibly top with parsley at the end, to get some green in there. Thank you so much for developing this recipe. It’s a keeper!!

    5 stars I made a spinach and cream cheese chicken over rice that was ‘missing something.’ I found this recipe and thought it may be a nice addition. IT WAS PERFECT! I cook a lot and most sauces underwhelm me. This was the perfect addition to my dish but I already have so many more ideas as to what I can add it to. The best part is that it’s full of flavor but not heavy. A must try!

    5 stars Thank you for this recipe! As I take my family with me on the road to healthier eating we still crave foods that are normally loaded with flavor…and fat! I wanted to do a healthy fettuccine alfredo and went in search of an alfredo sauce that would omit those lovely heavy creams and butters but still maintain the flavors. This is the recipe I decided on and I admit that I was super skeptical as I prepared it. But by the time I was on the last steps the sauce had thickened and had a really nice garlicky almost buttery smell to it. I poured it on our pasta and added lots of shredded chicken breast and a ton of chopped broccoli and it was wonderful. I could taste that it was “lightened” but there was also a little tang to it that I think came from the greek yogurt. My family loved it. The only advice I would give to those who choose to use this recipe is to be patient, stir and whisk all ingredients thoroughly because mixing is key. Also, use a good quality Greek yogurt (I love Fage 0%) and quality parmesan if you can. I am saving this recipe and will continue to follow your page and look forward to more healthy recipes. Thanks so much!

    5 stars Last night, after driving by The Olive Garden and talking myself out of take out- I had the intense craving to make my first, at home, fettuccine alfredo. Once home, I began looking up recipes… and then I saw the calories! When I found this recipe,I was so skeptical, I literally read every comment in the reviews. But on the compared calorie count alone, why not give it a try?! First, it turned out absolutely fantastic! It came out to the consistency of the alfredo that I was craving and not expecting, from being a quarter of the calories. I did switch up some components- based on allllllll of the comments I read. I quickly sautéed 3 finely chopped cloves of garlic (rather than using powder), and then added the mix of (pre-whisked) milk, low sodium chicken broth, and cornstarch (rather than adding oil and CS etc). I did not add salt, I read the parm should probably suffice. I sautéed portabella mushrooms on the side, as I read the water they release might dilute the alfredo if cooked together. Once finished, I combined and it was perfect. A bit tangy for me without the mushroom- but because it thickened so well, I may just add less yogurt next time. Sorry for the novel, but this is truly the first time I’ve commented on a recipe! People who want to- should cross over to the light side! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you for this platform of alfredo to expand on!

    Quick question for you! I tried this sauce out last night but it ended up gritty and watery. I added cooked spinach, mushrooms, & tomatoes after cooking so I’m wondering if the oil or acid did something to it and broke it apart. It just unfortunately wasn’t creamy for me. Any ideas? I can’t wait to try it again.
    Reply

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Hmmm. I’ve never had that happen before. Sounds like it separated… could be the heat was too high and/or your greek yogurt was too cold! Spinach and mushrooms naturally have a lot of water in them as well and like you said, maybe the acid from the tomatoes caused it to break.

    5 stars It’s so good. I however changed a few things around as I needed to watch my sodium intake. I used unsalted chicken broth and I also used unsweetened vanilla almond milk in place of the regular milk and chicken broth and I also cut the salt down to a 1/4 tsp. Everything else I kept the same and it turned out flawless every time. I have made this a few times and have once also added salt free cajun seasoning to it to give it some kick but this is by far the best skinny Alfredo sauce .

    5 stars This is a delicious alternative to classic Alfredo. Surprisingly creamy. The next time I make it I’ll use a round bottom saucepan, the small quantity of oil made it difficult to whisk the cornstarch smooth in the flat-bottomed pan.

      Hi! I’m not sure how much exactly but I would say the full recipe would serve about 4 people. So, 4 generous servings of whatever pasta you decide to serve it with. I usually just eyeball about 1/4 of the full batch 🙂 hope that helps!

    5 stars This recipe hit the spot in a fine way! Corn starch, if you keep stirring, is like magic for texture and supports a faux-creamy thing very well. I did as some mentioned and started with a garlic sauté and did not take any garlic powder off of the amount called for here. I used 2% milk. Will have to try with skim some time, but I am a little scared. Very satisfying entree–not missing the heavy cream at all.

    4 stars Absolutely FANTASTIC! I switched a low-fat, mostly Mediterranean diet recently and the cheesy pasta has been a serious craving. This recipe solidly scratches the mac’n’cheese itch. I had it over Banza chickpea pasta and cauliflower gnocchi. Mangiare! The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that I found the seasoning ratio to be a bit low. Next time I’m going to add some fresh garlic and some herbs, and reduce the salt (the parm has plenty!)

    5 stars Mine separated just a bit and is darker in color (I had Chicken bone broth on hand). My yogurt was straight out of the fridge and hadn’t come up to room temperature, is that the reason it separated a bit? I also didn’t use the oil or flour, I just added the broth and milk and put in some psyllium husk powder to thicken it up. Still tastes great.

    4 stars If you wanted to get the consistency closer to full Alfredo you could thicken this with steamed cauliflower blended with the broth; that’s what the vegans do. It also lets you skip the oil/cornstarch “roux” and cut the skim milk. I found adding parmesan to a vegan recipes wasn’t quite right, but your idea of Greek yogurt put it over the top.

    5 stars LOVE this recipe! Make it all the time. Heads up that you can skip the oil– I just add the corn starch to the milk and stock (after adding some of the liquid to the starch in a cup to avoid lumps, like you usually would). I also go a little bit lighter on the cornstarch (1 tbsp instead of 2) and it’s thick enough for my liking.

    5 stars Oh man, this healthy alfredo sauce was sooo yummy!!! This is definitely a keeper! And I appreciate the option to double or triple the recipe with the conversions being provided as I doubled the recipe 🙂 I decided to substitute the garlic powder for a medium bulb of garlic, which I finely chopped and sautéed in olive oil. I love garlic and tend to overdo it, but it was just the right amount in this case. I wanted to jazz it up and added fresh baby spinach and two cans of tuna, and used approximately 4 cups of rotini pasta. My family loved it!

    5 stars Hi Jennifer, I’ve been looking for a great substitute to the heavy cream sauce recipe I’m currently using for my family, and your one looks great! I’m not a fan of broth however… is there anything you could suggest using instead of it? I usually add heaps of spices for flavour and the other things I put into the pasta dish are well seasoned. I’m wondering whether leaving the broth out completely would mess with the consistency of the sauce? Hoping you can make a suggestion! Thanks in advance

    I was thinking that if there’s anybody here that finds the use of Greek yogurt makes the sauce a bit tangy for an alfredo sauce then if you want it a little less tangy I’m thinking that perhaps fat-free cottage cheese or fat-free ricotta cheese could be used in place of the Greek yogurt. I haven’t tried this recipe yet either in its original form or my theorized modifications so not sure if that would do the trick in place of the Greek yogurt but it might. Also for those of us that REALLY REALLY love garlic (love it so much that our breath can regularly slay vampires LOL) then you can use garlic-infused EVOO on top of the garlic powder called for in the recipe.
