Light Alfredo - Katy K,

6-7 Light Laughing Cow cheese wedges (I used Garlic & Herb flavor)
1 cup skim milk (I used 1% b/c it's what we had),
1/4 cup parmesan cheese,
2 tsp fresh garlic,
dash of nutmeg.

I added a bit of basil too. Melt this all on low for about 15 minutes. Add your favorite pasta. Whole wheat penne or rotini would be good. We had light cheese ravioli... See More's. Then I drained a can of petite-diced tomatoes really well and mixed those in at the end just before I added my cooked pasta to the sauce pan. It was D'Lish!!!!
