Fettuccine Supreme(Only 267 Calories Per Serving)
Creamy fettuccine with savory prosciutto, broccoli, and ricotta‑parmesan sauce—a light Italian pasta dish perfect for quick weeknight dinners or health‑conscious gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine ½ cup part‑skim ricotta cheese and ¼ cup skim milk in a blender until smooth; set aside.
- Heat 1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp margarine in a 9‑inch skillet until bubbly; add 3 oz diced prosciutto and 1 minced garlic clove, sauté until garlic turns golden, about 1 minute.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier sauce, consider blending in a bit of low-fat cream cheese alongside the ricotta. If you prefer a different protein, diced chicken or turkey could work well instead of prosciutto. Adding a sprinkle of nutmeg can enhance the flavor profile. For a vegetarian version, simply omit the prosciutto and add more vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. This dish can be a great addition to your Italian recipes collection.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Fettuccine Supreme with a side salad for a balanced meal, or pair it with garlic bread for a delightful touch. A sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley can add color and flavor. This dish also complements well with a light white wine, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of skim milk to maintain creaminess. Alternatively, you can microwave the dish in short intervals, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating without drying it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can substitute the ricotta with vegan ricotta or blended silken tofu. Use a plant-based margarine and skip the prosciutto, adding a variety of vegetables for flavor instead. Nutritional yeast can provide a cheesy flavor if desired.
What can I use instead of fettuccine?
If you don't have fettuccine, other pasta shapes like penne or spaghetti can be used. Just adjust the cooking time as needed. Whole wheat or gluten-free pasta are also great alternatives that maintain the dish's overall character.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat, consider incorporating red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic or adding a dash of hot sauce to the ricotta mixture. You can also serve it with a side of spicy roasted vegetables for an extra kick.
