My friend Emilee made this one for us since I am no longer eating dairy. While I haven't personally tested this recipe, it was a hit with her family last week and has been popular with others who have tried a similar version.

Making a homemade Alfredo sauce isn't as complicated as some have been led to believe.  Making Alfredo sauce with cream cheese is a hack that works amazingly!  Plus, it is so easy to make it low-fat and Weight Watchers friendly.

It really only takes a few simple ingredients. That makes it one of those recipes you can throw together in under 30 minutes, and impress guests. Add some grilled chicken or grilled shrimp to the side, and you've made a meal that everyone will ask for time and again.

Ingredients for Alfredo Sauce with Cream Cheese: 

½ block of that Neufchâtel cheese (4 ounces)

½ block fat-free cream cheese (4 ounces)

2 cups fat-free half and half

1 cup Parmesan, grated

½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions for Alfredo Sauce with Cream Cheese: 

In a large saucepan, whisk Neufchatel cheese, fat-free cream cheese, half & half, and parmesan until well combined.

Heat over medium heat for 5-7 minutes

Taste and add salt and more pepper if needed

We love to garnish this recipe with a bit of freshly cracked black pepper or parsley. You might also add some freshly shaved Parmesan.

As you can see, this comes together easily for a fast meal. For a vegetarian dish, you can simply serve over pasta with broccoli or other steamed veggies on the side. If you are also eating a lower carb diet, you can use a spiralizer to create zoodles and serve over veggies instead!

While it is a bit high in points compared to other Weight Watchers meals, it is much lower in fat and is a lot lower in points than a traditional option.  This has a great rich and thick texture and taste that you are going to love!
