Put this creamy classic back on your dinner menu by cutting the fat while upping the flavor. Our version of this popular dish uses cornstarch and fat-free skim milk instead of heavy cream to thicken the sauce. We also like using both canned diced tomatoes and canned tomato sauce for a chunkier texture. You may not believe us until you make it and try it, but there's so much else going on with the sauce, especially with the garnish of chopped fresh basil, that you won't ever miss the Parmesan cheese. We won't tell if you won't! Bon appétit!
