New Recipe for a New Years Resolution

Hello blog world! Happy 2013! One of my New Years Resolutions is to be a better blogger. So, in honor of that, here's the first post of 2013. :)

As another New Years Resolution, I am attempting to eat clean. In short, I'm trying to weed out processed foods, white flour, sugar, etc. It's proving to be more of a challenge than I anticipated! Tonight, we decided to try a new recipe-- Healthy Fettuccine Alfredo! Jacob LOVES fettuccine, but I can never get over how fatty and rich it is! So, this recipe from Runner's World was a perfect compromise!

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. vegetable farfalle (It's our favorite! You could also use whole wheat or vegetable fettuccine)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3/4 cup low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth
• 3/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
• 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Prepare pasta according to package. Prepare sauce as pasta is boiling.
2. Melt butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Place cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Pour into sauce pan and raise the heat, bringing sauce to a simmer, whisking occasionally.
4. Whisk in cheese and continue whisking until melted. Immeadiately remove pan from heat. Whisk in yogurt until smooth.
5. Toss pasta with Alfredo sauce. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy! :)
