Olive Garden Fettuccini Alfredo Recipe

Olive Garden Fettuccine Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Serves 2
(a clever copycat recipe)

1 bag Skinny Dip Fettuccini
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Warning, this is NOT a low calorie dish!  But for special occasions it's a delicious indulgence.  Try adding grilled chicken or shrimp to boost the protein.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan.  Stir in cream cheese, cream and garlic powder until smooth.  Simmer on low for 10 minutes stirring often.  Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Drain, rinse and boil noodles for 1 minute.  Drain again very well and arrange on 2 plates.  Top with Alfredo sauce and extra Parmesan if desired.


Tip:  Knock down the calories with diet margarine and low fat cheeses.
