Guiltless Alfredo Sauce

Have you ever ordered a dish of Chicken Alfredo from Olive Garden? Or their Alfredo Pizza? or even just the dipping sauce for the bread sticks? All super yummy! But if you are on a diet.. Alfredo is just plain out of reach.. Because the dipping sauce alone has 380 Calories and 35 grams of fat.. add some pasta and chicken to make it the meal? and you have 1440 Calories and 88 grams of fat.. yeah.. I can feel myself gaining weight just thinking about it.. This sauce hits the spot without hitting your thighs.. It makes quite a bit, I had enough for sauce on a pizza and to cover pasta and broccoli. original recipe here.
