Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ lb. angel hair or fettuccine
  • 1 tbsp. salted butter
  • 2 small shallots, minced
  • ½ cup low-fat sour cream or 5% fat Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup heavy cream*
  • ½ cup finely crumbled feta
  • 3 tbsp. grated parmesan

Instructions

  • Cook pasta as directed.
  • Melt butter in small saucepan. Add shallots and sauté over medium-high heat until fragrant and beginning to brown.
  • Lower heat to medium-low and add sour cream. Stir for 15 seconds and then add cream and feta. Stir until feta is completely melted.
  • Remove from heat and stir in parmesan.
  • Immediately toss sauce with drained pasta and serve warm.

Notes

*I do not recommend substituting light cream or milk for the heavy cream. The feta is already quite low in fat, and it will not melt into a lower fat liquid.
Do crumble the feta as small as you can so that it can dissolve as much as possible into the sauce.
If the feta does not melt, you may use a blender to achieve a creamier texture (or you can leave crumbles of feta throughout).
This pasta sauce is excellent served together with roasted vegetables, such as broccoli!
