As I was searching the web for pasta recipes, I realized most of them called for cream cheese, an entire cup of fattening cream, and a lot of cheese. So I asked myself, how do I come up with a recipe that tastes creamy and flavorful and rich but doesn't have a ton of saturated fat? The answer? Cornstarch. That's right. I know it sounds weird but it works. It thickens the sauce just like how cheese would without the added unhealthy saturated fats that clog up your arteries. I substituted traditional cream with 1% milk and organic chicken stock, which not only gives it great chicken flavor but reduces the amount of fat called in more traditional recipes. So give it a go and tell me what you think!
