Fatfree half and half? I think that stuff is just a myth. If not, then it surely won't be ';tasty';, which is a requirement you are asking for.





You can try using evaporated milk.





First, saute some garlic, and maybe some onion in a pan with 1 tbsp of EVOO, and 1 tbsp butter.





Next, add some dry white wine, maybe a 1/4 cup, and a 1/2 cup of chicken stock... and reduce by half.





Then add can of the milk.


-Also, zest in a lemon for added flavor (don't use any juice), and throw in some fresh thyme.





Last, add in about 1 cups of freshly grated parmesan cheese.





Season with salt and pepper. If it's not thick enough for you, you can add some cornstarch. Just added it to about a tablespoon of cold water, or milk and stir it up, before putting it in the sauce.





This is a great alfredo type cream sauce. You can also use marscapone cheese, about 1 cup to add an amazing flavor. Also try adding peas and spicy italian sausage.





Serve it with Penne, or Farfalle (bow tie) pasta





It's one of my favorites.





If not the sausage, try prosciutto.
