Pasta Alfredo with Sundried tomatoes

10/10/2014

0 Comments

 
What to do on a cold day when you are running out of lunch ideas and no time to make soup?  How about a quick alfredo sauce and some farm fresh sundried tomatoes?  What...you wouldn't think of that as a go-to quick lunch?  I assure you it is simpler than you might think.

This happens to be one of my children's favorite lunches, and for my little one with the milk allergy we just use red pasta sauce on his noodles.

I really don't even measure my ingredients anymore and in fact I forgot to add garlic in this picture of the ingredients, but it is such an easy sauce that I really don't have to be exact in measurements.

My Alfredo Recipe:
1/4 cup real butter
1/4 package cream cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan or Parmesan and Romano Blend
1/4 - 1/2 cup milk (depending on desired consistancy)
2-3 cloves fresh pressed garlic (you can sub garlic powder)

I start off by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium low heat, then I add the milk and cream cheese and begin to whisk until the cream cheese starts to melt.  I add in the Parmesan and garlic at this point and pretty much whisk constantly until the chunks of cream cheese are smooth. You can add in salt and more garlic powder to taste as you go and if it gets too thick, I just add more milk.

It was about this point that I rememberd the sun dried tomatoes I had in the freezer from the garden, I tell how I did that in this post here.  Also, don't forget to boil noodles for your sauce!  We love angel hair pasta for this dish.

You can see they are still frosty from being pulled right out of the freezer but they warmed to room temperature quickly and I tossed them on top of my alfredo sauce and pasta for a super yummy mommy lunch.
