Fettucine Alfredo

One of the easiest dishes to make is Fettuccine Alfredo and almost everyone likes it.It is, however sinfully rich and high in cholestestrol and saturated fat.Sometimes it is impossible to look at without clutching your heart.I have made a few changes to the recipe to reduce the fat and I recommend serving it as a side dish with a fish entree.

Ingredients:

12 oz of fettuccine cooked al dente
6 Tablespoons Smart Balance (this is a spread with no cholesterol and no trans fats.Do not try to use the light version of this.It does not melt)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Swiss cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Melt Smart Balance in a saute pan over low heat
Add the cooked fettuccine to to the melted Smart Balance
and toss gently with the butter
Add the cheese and continue to cook over low heat until blended
Add the cream and salt and freshly ground pepper
Remove pan from heat and serve immediately

Serves 4 to 6
