[Italian] How to cook Skinny spinach fettuccine
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine noodles, cooked according to package's instructions
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic (I like a little stronger garlic flavor so I use 2 teaspoons)
- ½ cup water
- 2 ounces light cream cheese
- ¾ cup chicken or vegetable broth + 3 tablespoons flour
- ½ cup pecorino romano cheese, grated (or any other Italian style cheese - I used a three cheese blend)
- ½ cup packed baby spinach leaves, finely chopped
- 1 cup fat free half & half (you can use regular non-fat free half & half or heavy cream but it won't be as "skinny")
- 1-2 teaspoons salt + ½ teaspoon pepper
- optional: crumbled bacon, additional cheese
