Low Calorie Fettucini Alfredo

This creamy pasta somehow manages to capture all the comforting decadence of Fettuccine Alfredo while still being light and fresh for Spring.   This feat could only be accomplished thanks to Pinch of Yum’s Creamy Cauliflower Sauce, tweaked ever so slightly for our tastes and refrigerator contents. The moment I saw Lindsay’s magical sauce I knew I wanted to make this dish.  The peas add a little dash of color, sweetness and Spring freshness.

The sauce can be made in advance to make this an extra super fast weeknight meal.  Plus, leftovers make an awesome lunch the next day.
