Healthify classic fettuccine Alfredo by adding protein-rich shrimp and using whole-wheat noodles instead of white for extra fiber. We love the full flavor of Asiago cheese in this quick and comforting dinner, but any hard Italian cheese, like Parmigiano Reggiano or Romano, will work well too.

Ingredients

8 ounces whole-wheat linguine
2 cups reduced-fat milk, divided
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces medium shrimp (31-40 count), peeled and deveined
½ teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 cup grated Asiago cheese, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Cook linguine according to package directions. Drain well.
Meanwhile, whisk 1/2 cup milk and flour in a small bowl until smooth. Set next to the stove. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until mostly pink on the outside, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, salt and nutmeg to the pan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the reserved flour-milk mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup Asiago and lemon juice.
Divide the linguine among 4 bowls. Top each with 3/4 cup of the shrimp sauce. Garnish each with 1 tablespoon of the remaining Asiago and 1 tablespoon parsley.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
