Alfredo is a classically high-fat and calorie dish. This lovely linguine, a great 30-minute rush hour dinner, has much less fat and calories than the traditional version.
Ingredients
- 8 oz whole grain uncooked linguine
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 lb chicken breast strips for stir-fry
- 1 jar (7 oz) roasted red bell peppers, drained, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons butter or margarine
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot

- 1 pint (2 cups) fat-free half-and-half
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
