Ladies, it’s time to abandon all your good eating habits for one evening. Gents, we already know you pretty much eat whatever, so maybe lace up those running sneaks.
I’ve got Alfredo.
I won’t call it “Fettucini Alfredo” because I used spaghetti noodles. And I’m here to spur your creativity, so please call it “insert pasta here alfredo” until you decide on noodles I guess.
To repair my arteries, I used whole wheat pasta. Plus, it holds up better to all that thick sauce anyway.
And can hold more weight in cheese, so good choice on my part I think. Oh, and I added spinach.
This is ridiculously easy. Alfredo might be another one of those things you thought was harder, but really isn’t. You could also use this sauce as an accompaniment to poultry.
Please don’t hate me.
Makes about 3 1/2 cups
Ingredients::
- 6 TBS butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- baby spinach
- salt & pepper, to taste
Directions::
- Melt the butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Let simmer for about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth.
- Continue to warm over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Add spinach to sauce just before serving. Stir to wilt leaves.
- Serve over cooked pasta or chicken.
P.S. I finally (finally!) saw Julie & Julia and am now dying to go to culinary school. Anyone else?
