Looking for any low fat noodle recipes
Fettuccini Alfredo-Heart Healthy
Ingredients
2 cups well-cooked canelli, great northern or white beans (fill
the cups with beans and add cooking liquid to top of cup)
2 cups soy milk (my favorites are Silk Brand Original or Pacific
Brand Unsweetened. Be careful not to use vanilla flavored soy
milk)
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8-1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg, depending on taste
1/4 cup grated low-fat Pecorino Romano sheep's milk cheese, or
if diet permits, low-fat Soy Veggie Parmesan (by Soyco Foods)
1 cup dried tomatoes (rehydrated by soaking in boiling water for
20 seconds, drained, allowed to cool and then sliced into thin
strips.)
2 cups small broccoli flowers
(Tomatoes and broccoli are optional.)
Directions
Begin heating a large pot of water for cooking the pasta. In a
blender, puree beans, milk, garlic powder, salt and nutmeg until
very smooth and creamy.
When boiling, add fettuccini pasta to salted water. While pasta
begins to cook, in a medium sized pot, bring bean and milk
mixture, stirring occasionally, to a temperature just below
simmering; remove the sauce from the burner and stir in the
grated cheese. Adjust the seasoning of the sauce, if desired.
Add broccoli, if desired, to the cooking pasta, to cook the
broccoli with the pasta for the last couple of minutes.
When the pasta is cooked, yet still firm, drain the pasta, return
it to its pot and add the sauce to the pasta. Divide the Fettuccini
Alfredo into individual serving bowls or put it into a serving
platter. Garnish the pasta with additional grated soy or Pecorino
cheese and minced Italian parsley.
