I thought so too, but came across a really good one in Prevention magazine. 1-1/2 cups 1% milk 1 tablespoon flour 1 teaspoon spread 3/2 cup grated parmesean, salt, pepper to taste
in a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup of the milk, flour, salt & pepper. Whisk in remaining milk and bring to a simmer. Mixture will begin to thicken. Cook about 2 minutes then add spread ( I cheat and use butter) and spinkle in grated parmesean. Stirring frequently, cook another 3 to 4 minutes until thickened. Toss with hot pasta.
I add peas and cooked shrimp to make this a one pot meal. eta: Prevention mag called for whole grain pasta and also broccoli in the recipe.

Re: Low-fat Alfredo Sauce Recipe
You're welcome. I like the sauce just a bit thicker, so I add a bit more flour, and reserve some of the pasta water just in case it is too thick. I don't like fat free H&H - it has other things in it to give it body like regular H&H.
