- NOTES : We like pasta alfredo but know not to eat it often.
- This dish is a great alternative.
- Easy, quick and light.
- We use one of today's cholesterol-free dairy products, Land O Lakes fatfree half and half.
- It can be heated if we do so gently and don't expect it to reduce the way real cream would.
- Cooking the fettucine in broth adds flavor and lemon zest is the real star.
