We used half-and-half instead of whipping cream and decreased the

amount of butter and cheese ever so slightly to lower the fat by about

10 grams per serving.

 

ChupaNote: This thickened up beautifully and had a marvelous taste.

Added red pepper flakes for heat. Used whole wheat fettucine.Next time

I'll try using fat free condensed milk and cut the fat way down.
