Creamy sauce
Alfredo-style sauces are dense, so sauce technique often matters more than removing the pasta entirely.

Likely calorie drivers
Pasta portion
A moderate pasta base plus added protein and vegetables can keep the comfort-food shape.
Cheese and butter
The dish can stay creamy while using smaller amounts of richer ingredients more deliberately.
A lighter version idea
A lighter Alfredo direction can use a smaller creamy base, more chicken or shrimp, vegetables such as broccoli or spinach, and a sauce method that keeps texture without leaning only on butter and cream.
