This ricotta Alfredo sauce is a low-fat alternative to traditional Alfredo sauce. Most of the time, I add chicken to make it a complete meal!

2 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups skim milk
⅔ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
