Frugal Fridays With Jen- Frugal Fettucine

I found this recipe for Philadelphia Smarter Fettuccine Alfredo on Allrecipes.com.

I used chicken broth that I found at Target at $0.46 for 4 cups (recipe total $0.12), half a box of free Ronzoni Garden Delight Fettuccine, half a carton of Plain Philadelphia Cooking Cream gotten for $0.49 (recipe total $0.25), a small amount of store brand parmesan cheese (maybe $0.25 worth), a tiny amount of flour (maybe $0.10 worth), my own parsley from a plant, and negligible amounts for spices.

This tasted great, and fed my husband and I both for a total cost of about $0.72! I highly recommend it!

Ingredients

• 300 grams fettuccine, uncooked
• 1 1/4 cups 25%-less-sodium chicken broth
• 4 teaspoons flour
• 1/3 cup PHILADELPHIA Light Cream Cheese Spread
• 3 tablespoons 100% Light Parmesan Grated Cheese, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Cook pasta as directed on package.
2. Meanwhile, combine broth and flour in medium saucepan. Stir in cream cheese spread, 2 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese, the nutmeg and pepper; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly with wire whisk until mixture boils and thickens.
3. Drain pasta. Toss with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and the parsley.
