Fettuccine Alfredo ... with a difference

I love pasta especially Fettuccine Alfredo but have always wished it had a little more kick to it than
the bland taste. Here is what I tried.....

1 Packet Fettuccine (I got the Garden Delight)
1 pack of Low fat Cream Cheese (8oz)
2 cups1% Milk
1 Tablespoon Butter
salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Chilli Powder 1/2 teaspoon
Grated Ginger 1 tablespoon
Mixed Vegetables  cut in long pieces(carrots, Green and Red Peppers, Onions)
2 Tablespoons snipped Parsley
1 Tablespoon snipped Dill
2-3 cloves Garlic

  • Boil Water and boil the pasta aldente.
  •  Steam the vegetables
  • Blend the cream cheese and milk together.
  • Heat the butter in a large pan.
  • When melted, add the crushed garlic and cook for a minute.
  • Add the cream cheese/milk mixture and stir till the cream cheese is melted.
  • Once the sauce is thickened slightly, add the ginger, chilli powder, pepper, salt, dill and parsley.
  • Finally stir in the pasta and the vegetables.
  • Enjoy Warm with Garlic Bread or Salad
