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
