Healthy Chicken Alfredo Pasta with Citrus

We’ve been on a low cholesterol diet for over six months now and while we’ve adjusted to the changes, there’s one thing I miss more than anything: creamy pasta. Carbonara and alfredo sauces have been off the menu for so long that I hadn’t even attempted to recreate them until recently.

But this week, I couldn’t resist any longer. I had been craving tender, creamy pasta, and after doing some research and experimenting, I finally achieved what I had been yearning for. This recipe is both fresh and light, yet still provides the satisfaction of a rich and creamy meal without the added fat and guilt. The addition of citrus gives it a refreshing twist that’s perfect for our tastes.

This recipe is definitely going into our usual meal rotation now and I hope you will like it as much as we do here at Delys Boutique!
