For higher fiber content try using whole wheat fettuccine. Garlic lovers should add 1/8 tsp. garlic powder. This fettuccine alfredo is 'smarter' because chicken broth, flour and Philly Light Cream Cheese replace the butter and heavy cream used in the traditional recipe. The amount of Grated Parmesan Cheese is also decreased. By making these changes, you'll save 300 calories and 34 grams of fat per serving compared to a traditional recipe.
