Weight Watchers Alfredo Sauce
Alfredo is one of my biggest weaknesses. Who doesn't love a rich and creamy sauce one top of a big bowl of pasta? I lightened up the classic sauce to bring you a lighter alfredo pasta.

Can’t wait to give it a try! Looks delicious! Not a fan of almond milk so I’ll sub skim milk or cashew milk if I can find some. Thanks for the great recipes!
