on Aug 29, 2016, Updated Aug 28, 2020 It’s so tough staying away from anything pasta but you know the calories in a loaded Alfredo sauce are probably enough to discount three days of workout (which I’ve recently started doing after much procrastination). This lighter creamier corn pepper fusilli alfredo is just everything right now. Only thing I couldn’t resist is bacon. Because bacon is perfect. And let’s not argue about that. I’m also so kicked about this corn and pepper combination. It’s perfect with just the right amount of natural sweet and spicy. That fusilli really soaks up all the sauce. Each little crevice in that spiral is filled with our lighter, creamier alfredo sauce which makes it the perfect choice for this pasta! Some of you are going to say that there is nothing light about all that stringy cheese. But when you compare all the cheese and cream that goes into a traditional alfredo, this is not even half as many calories! We are making some real substitutions. Whole wheat flour for all purpose flour. Skim milk for cream. And only a little bit of cheese which amounts to less 2 tablespoons per helping. Is this perfect or what? We ended up doing this for lunch the other day, and oh man! I ate leftovers standing by the fridge in the middle of the night. So not cool. But totally unavoidable. I love you lighter creamier corn pepper fusilli alfredo. And I’ll be making you again. I promise. If you love pasta and fusilli and alfredo and all things white creamy, cheesy sauce, let’s do this thing. Follow my pasta board on Pinterest for daily pasta inspiration!
