Recipe Review: Laughing Cow Alfredo Sauce

I have been meaning to make this sauce for a while, but I have never gotten around to it until now. I'm sad that it took me this long to make this recipe, because it is so good!! I tweaked the recipe a little bit and added salt and pepper. I also used the garlic and herb Laughing Cow cheese, which made this an incredibly flavorful sauce. It turned out way better than I thought it would. Jon enjoyed it too and said that I could make it again!

Ingredients

First, I added the milk and 6 wedges of Laughing Cow cheese to my saucepan.

Next, I added garlic (I did not have garlic powder, so I used minced garlic).

Finally, I added the Parmesan cheese and butter. I also added salt and pepper to the sauce as well.

Then, I put the saucepan on the burner to begin melting all my ingredients together

until the sauce is velvety smooth, about 20 minutes.

I put about 1/4 cup of the sauce on my noodles.

Ok I am going to have to give this try. I just recently started eating this cheese and love it. I might add some grilled chicken to mine. Erica

This recipe looks GREAT! I love Laughing Cow and I'm always looking for a way to make mac cheese/alfredo/etc "healthy". I shared the deliciousness on my own blog here: http://seektobemerry.blogspot.com/2013/01/brrrrr.html Thanks!!

I've been looking at this recipe for a week now. I even bought everything to make it last week but work was a little crazy. SO I finally made it tonight and it it delicious! This will be a regular in my diet.

I also wanted to tell you how inspiring I find your blog. Although I am not a Weight Watcher's member, I am working on being healthier again (not as a New Year's Resolution but as a conscious choice that has been a long time in the making). I have a long road ahead of me but I know I can do it. As silly as this may sound, I feel like I have you cheering me on! Thank you for taking the time to blog and good luck on your journey.

Excellent recipe!! The flavor is delicious! I used it on a gluten free pizza as the sauce to recreate but in a healthy way one of my favorite pizzas. Thanks for sharing!

Brandy said...

is it 3 plus points for the sauce and the pasta????

Jen Newsham said...

Hi All, The recipe doesn't call for pasta. The sauce is 3 pointsplus by itself and the pasta is extra.

jessie said...

This was amazing! Not to mention easy, I'll be making this again and again and again....

jessie said...

This was amazing! I'll be making this A LOT.

I have made this twice and love it! I used unsweetened almond milk this time because that's all I had on hand, and it was still delicious! I would definitely recommend cooking it on a pretty low setting so it doesn't burn, and you can cut up the cheese wedges to make them melt faster.

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It's going to be one that I make often!

Unknown said...

I am new to ww and had a few ?'s How much pasta do you use for this serving and what is its points? I am a 2% milk kind of girl do you notice a differnce with using the fat free?

I'm new to your blog, but love it! I want to make this, and have some leftover pasta (red) sauce in the fridge. I thought of making half of your Laughing Cow alfredo, and adding some red sauce to it. What do you think? Thanks for the great recipes!

Unknown said...

Can you please tell me the nutrition values so I can create this for my points. Thanks. Ps. This is soooooooo good!!!

Meredith said...

I made this last night. I used all 8 wedges in the pack and I got 6 servings out of the sauce. This put the points value at 2 pts+ a serving. Spooned over zucchini noodles with chicken breast my meal was 5 pts+ and very filling!

Jo-sheena said...

Do I have to use 6 wedges? Also for those who don't want to eat pasta.. try this with spaghetti squash or steamed cauliflower

Unknown said...

Delicious recipe. I changed up the recipe a little bit(adding and subtracting ingredients), but thank you so much for the idea.

Unknown said...

My roommate loves alfredo and this looks to be a healthier chose than the jar stuff in that she eats now. if I make a batch on the weekend, how long will it stay in the fridge? can you freeze it?

thanks.

Unknown said...

How long will this stay good, in the fridge? Can it be frozen? this sounds much healthier than the store jar option. thanks

Unknown said...

This is absolutely delicious. Thank you very much! 👍😉

Joanne said...

I was searching for a recipe making a white pasta sauce using Laughing Cow wedges and was so happy to find that I did not have to make up my own! Thank you for sharing.... and wow 90 lbs lost?! Good for you! I'm having a hard time keeping 30 off.

Katie K said...

I made this tonight, thanks for the recipe! I calculated, with my brands, 98 calories per serving. (4 servings in the pot) With a serving of regular pasta and a good sized chicken breast, that's a very filling and cravings-busting 550 cal dinner! Thanks!

I was looking for a way to have my pasta and white sauce.....I miss them when dieting. Saw this and had all of the ingredients.....made with spiralized zucchini, used Mrs Dash as my seasonings, always use almond milk(and it was OK), and added shrimp. Oh my, my hubby couldn't get enough. Thanks for posting!!

Unknown said...

The texture seemed gritty after 10 minutes of cooking, and not vwlvety smooth, so I git worried and I added the other 2 blocks of cheese and some more butter and just a splash more milk. I let it cook the remaining 10 minutes, constantly stirring, and when my husband sampled it he said it tasted good. So I served it over pasta and blackened chicken, but it turned super thick once it left the stovetop. I probably should have left the recipe alone and just trusted that after 20 minutes it would have turned velvety, as described, but I got worried and modified it, and regretted it.
