Smarter Fettuccine Alfredo

8 oz. fettuccine, uncooked
1 1/4 c. fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 tsp. flour
1/3 c. 1/3 less fat cream cheese
3 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Cook pasta as directed.
Meanwhile, combine broth and flour in medium saucepan. Stir in cream cheese, cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly until moisture boils and thickens.
Toss pasta with sauce, 2 Tbsp. of the Parmesan cheese and nutmeg. Sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese and the parsley. Season to taste with black pepper.

**I doubled the recipe, to ensure leftovers...a great time saver! This is a really good alternative to traditional Alfredo; we really liked it. Next time I might add some grilled chicken or steamed veggies.
