One of my go-to recipe sites is Kraft Kitchens Canada. They offer great ideas for meals and snacks. I got this recipe makeover for Fettuccine Alfredo from them and it is delicious. You and your family will not miss all the extra calories & fat.

Bueno Apetito!

Ingredients:

300 g (1/3 of 900-g pkg.) fettuccine, uncooked
1 lb. (450 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1-1/4 cups 25%-less-sodium chicken broth
4 tsp. flour
1/3 cup (1/3 of 250-g tub) PHILADELPHIA Light Cream Cheese Spread
3 Tbsp. KRAFT 100% Light Parmesan Grated Cheese, divided
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. pepper

Method:

COOK pasta as directed on package.

MEANWHILE, heat large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 to 7 min. or until chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet. Mix broth and flour in same skillet. Stir in cream cheese spread, 2 Tbsp. of the Parmesan cheese, the nutmeg and pepper; cook 2 min., stirring constantly until mixture boils and thickens. Stir in chicken.
