Tonight I made my first homemade alfredo sauce. I’m struggling with it because while the flavor was just about perfect, the consistency was only good when it was piping hot. As it cooled, it got to be the consistency of a nice buttercream frosting. Not quite right, obviously. It was definitely worth the effort and I’ll definitely be making it again, but I’m hesitant to post a recipe that’s just not right.
The trick will be adding more milk while keeping the flavor strong. It was also my first time trying Aldi’s Fit & Active Whole Wheat Pasta, and I have to say it was a big win. YUM!
Leftover sauce was mixed with some frozen spinach, which ended up lightening the sauce quite a bit.
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.
