Among the many items in my pantry that I consider staples is Classico’s Roasted Garlic Alfredo sauce. Whether I’m using it in my famous cajun chicken pasta (which I surprisingly still haven’t shared on this blog!) or tossing it with shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes, it’s restaurant quality and simply the best out there, especially for the price.
Making this dish is super simple. First I sauté about 6 cloves of crushed garlic in about 1/4 stick of butter until the garlic is translucent. To this I add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes (julienned works really well) and, of course, the shrimp. When the shrimp is cooked through, I add the alfredo sauce so the flavors can meld.
I love serving this with farfalle, or bow-tie pasta, but it’s good with fettuccine as well. This one’s always a family favorite.
All my cakes come from boxes. My spaghetti sauce isn't from scratch, and I think making my own pasta and bread (unless it comes from a mix…) is rarely worth the effort. I believe individually frozen chicken breasts and ready-made pie crusts are among the best inventions ever. Through these menus, recipes, tips and recommendations, I hope to show that the options for creative cooking are limitless, even when time and money are not.
