In a pinch you can use whole milk, or unflavored coffee creamer.





I make white sauce all the time, for mac and cheese, alfredo, and pasta primavera.





I usually use:


1/2 cup butter


1/2 cup flour


4 cups milk (any percent)


salt and pepper to taste





I melt butter, add flour, salt, pepper, then milk until it comes to a bubble but not a boil. STIR CONSTANTLY!





For Alfredo I add grated Parmesan to taste, I like A LOT so I add about a cup or so





For Mac and cheese I add a pound of brick cheese Cheddar, Colby-jack, any combo that suits your tastes just dice it into cubes and melt it in mix with pasta, and serve, or you can bake topped with bread crumbs at 400 until bubbles and brown





For Primavera, add veggies (carrots, broccoli, peppers, zucchini, squash whatever you like) Parmesan, and toss over penne pastaWhat can I substitute light cream with?
unfortunately about the only thing you can sub the light cream out for would be heavy cream or evaporated milk (both are a little thicker) You are making a basic alfredo sauce... so if you keep jar sauce around, you may have some of that... so then you just sub that sauce for teh rest of the things but noodles.





enjoy...
Since you are just heating the sauce without boiling it, you can use your fat free milk. Just add a little extra butter. The sauce will not really thicken, but will still be tasty.





If you were simmering the sauce to cook things in it, fat free milk would ';break';, but just heating and melting butter is fine. Don't let it boil.
I always use evaporated milk--it's really cheap.
Just use milk.
