My Teenaged Son Loved This!! Yahoo, mom victory!!

My 16-year old son loves Alfredo sauce.  He is my most honest and harshest critic. Every day, I hear, “what’s for dinner, Mom?”  I know some days he will groan, other days he is O.K. with it and some days he is excited!  I love it when he is happy and eager for my cooking. 

I wanted to make a “worthified” version of Alfredo, so that he and I would both be happy. I didn’t have all of the ingredients that I wanted or enough, so I punted and used what I had. 

It turned out awesome, if I do say so myself and my son said so too!  Happy mom!  I had made him some regular pasta, but he said it wasn’t necessary, the spaghetti squash was really good with it.  Another mom victory!

Oh, and be careful with the spaghetti squash.  I microwave it, but of course you can roast it in the oven.  I left mine in the microwave a bit too long and it exploded! 

​I could hear that it sounded like it was probably done or something crazy was going to happen and before I could press stop, it was all over the microwave.  Oh well, it needed a cleaning anyways.

So, here we go…

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp whole wheat organic flour
1 cup milk (I used whole, Smart Points for all types at the end)
2 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
1/8 cup parmesan cheese
sea salt
1 large spaghetti squash
 
Instructions
  1. Poke holes with a sharp fork or knife in the spaghetti squash
  2. Microwave for 6-9 minutes depending on the size,  it should feel softer and more pliable.  Let it cool for about 5 minutes.  While you are waiting, start on the sauce.  Then cut squash in half and remove the seeds and pulp.  Use a sharp fork to scrape and harvest all of the “spaghetti”.
  3. Melt butter in medium sauce pan over medium heat, add garlic and stir to warm through for 30 seconds
  4. Add flour and stir for 1 minute
  5. Whisk in milk and a pinch of sea salt until thickened, about 3 minutes
  6. Cut cream cheese and add to sauce along with parmesan cheese
  7. If sauce is too thick, use water or milk to thin it. 
Yield: 4 servings
WW SP = Weight Watchers Smart Point
5 WW SP if using whole milk or 2%
4 WW SP if using 1% or skim

    I was a school teacher for 20 years and am a lifetime soul learner.  I am still a teacher, just a different curriculum.  

    I also have been a Weight Watchers member for 35 years.  I am a lifetime member checking in free for the last 13 years.  

    I am living the life I have always dreamed of through helping others and designing my own life.

    I share things I found on my journey to body happiness, weight wellness, worthiness and me, happily ever after.  I hope to help others with my sharing.

    ​Unconditional love and practical ways to feel your worth are themes in my work.
