Ingredients



5 oz uncooked linguini

1 1/2 oz cooked canadian-style bacon, chopped

1 small onion(s), red, finely chopped

2 medium garlic clove(s), crushed

6 Tbsp vegetable broth

1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk

1 tsp cornstarch

1 Tbsp water

3/4 oz grated parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp chives, chopped

1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste



Instructions



Add pasta to large pot of boiling water; cook, uncovered, until tender, drain.



Return pan to heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring, until onion is soft. Stir in broth and milk. Bring

to a boil, stir in combined cornstarch and water. Simmer, uncovered, until thickened slightly, about

5 minutes.



Just before serving add pasta and cheese to sauce. Cook, stirring, until cheese is melted, about 2

minutes.



Serve pasta topped with bacon, sprinkle with chives and pepper. Serve this dish with a large

garden salad on the side.



Chef Tips



We renovated Pasta Alfredo by:



Substituting the cream for evaporated skim milk.



Using bacon as a garnish, not a staple. Opting for a small amount of good quality, Parmesan

cheese, rather than a lot of the average kind.



You can further renovate this dish by bulking the sauce out with vegetables such as tomatoes,

snow peas or beans.
