MONDAY
Skinny Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce | Melanie Makes

This eight ingredient Skinny Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce uses common pantry and fridge ingredients which means you can enjoy it any day of the week without making a special trip to the grocery store.  Garlic, Parmesan cheese, chicken broth and Greek yogurt are thickened into an amazing creamy sauce.  Once you stir in pumpkin puree and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg, well, an autumn pasta favorite is born.
