I was visiting a friend recently and flipping through a few of her old of her cookbooks.  One of the cookbooks she has was Now Eat This!  by Rocco DiSpirito.

His lightened up recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo caught my eye. (as well as a few of his photos too, wink wink…)  The photo looked really good so I definitely wanted to give his version a shot since the last diet Alfredo recipe I tried was not so great.

This recipe does not disappoint, we really enjoyed it!

  4. I have tried Alfredo with cream cheese but I love the thought of using greek yogurt and getting the boost of protein.

  7. Alfredo sauce has been one of my biggest cravings while I've been pregnant, but I haven't given in all that often because of how rich it is. I should have found a recipe like this sooner! I know what's for dinner tonight =)
