Skinny Alfredo Spaghetti Casserole may be lower fat, but it sure pops with flavour. This alfredo sauce is thick and creamy. The combination of milk, flour and pasta water creates a rich alfredo sauce that is amplified by the creaminess of pureéd cottage cheese. The garlic, rosemary and parsley enhance the sauce by adding a subtle herb flavour. Skinny alfredo sauce is delicious on its own or when it’s baked with spaghetti and mozzarella cheese.
To give each spaghetti casserole its perfect shape, I use the Wilton 8 Cavity Loaf Pan. Once the pasta noodles and alfredo sauce are combined, use kitchen tongs to carefully divide the pasta and add it to each loaf tin. Make sure that all the noodles fit inside the loaf tin. You may need to push them in a bit. For the last step, top each casserole with two tablespoons of shredded cheese, then it’s ready to bake.
When it’s all done, each Skinny Alfredo Spaghetti Casserole will be crispy on top and richly creamy in the middle. For a little flavour boost, serve each casserole on top of tomato sauce. It not only adds a pop of colour, it enhances the casserole by adding a zesty, savoury flavour. With or without the tomato sauce, Skinny Alfredo Spaghetti Casserole is a tasty, single-serving meal.
