Low-fat Fettuccine Alfredo

Here is a recipe that is less fat and yummy!

Cook Fettuccine noodles as directed on the package.

For the Alfredo sauce:
1/2 Cup butter
1 whole can of evaporated milk (12oz.)
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt to taste ( I really don't add much because my butter has salt in it.)
Sprinkle Parsley on top! (fresh or dried)
Steam some broccoli and cook up some chicken to add!

Take butter and the evaporated milk ingredients and put them in a sauce pan and cook over medium heat. Stirring frequently. Do not leave unattended. Mixture will over flow if not watching. Butter is melting and mixture starts to bubble. Reduce heat to low, simmer 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and then add grated Parmesan Cheese. The sauce will then begin to thicken up once cheese is added. (Note: taste sauce and see if you like. If you want a more cheesy taste then add more cheese to your liking.) Sprinkle Parsley on top and add some broccoli and chicken to your dish. Yummy!
