Introduction

One day, I was looking for a simple way to make a Parmesan cheese sauce for pasta or chicken, I used ingredients in my cupboards. Substitue low fat ingredients for fewer calories, fat, etc.

Serving size is calculated for 1/4 cup; however, I typical use two table spoons of this sauce on whatever I'm eating. It's flavorful, and spreads easily over pasta or meats.
