This weekend my boyfriend and I were on our own for dinner. All we had was pasta, but we didn't want to use traditional canned tomato pasta sauce. He came up with the idea to make Alfredo sauce. It's way easier than you may think. So i thought I'd share it with all of you.
Yields: 2 servings
Total Time:20 minutes
# of Pans: 3
Ingredients:
1/2 of a bag of Egg Noodles ( 2 servings worth according to the bag)
2 Sausage links (any flavor will do)
4 Tablespoons butter
1 Cup whipping Cream
2 pinches Nutmeg
1 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1 Clove Garlic minced
Directions:
*Turn on your oven to "broil"
*Fill a large sauce pan 2/3 full with water, a dash of salt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bring to a boil
*Add in your pasta, and stir
*Meanwhile, place your sausage links in your ovens broiler
*In a separate small sauce pan, start by melting your butter
*Add in your cream and bring to a low simmer for 5 minutes
*After about 3 minutes, check on your sausages and flip them over
*After 5 minutes, add in your garlic, nutmeg and cheese to your butter/cream mixture
*Continue to cook on low until your cheese is all melted
*Once your pasta is al dente, drain and place back in a covered sauce pan
*Once your sausages are fully cooked, slice or dice them
*Place your sausages and your now done alfredo sauce over the noodles and stir
*Serve with a topping of fresh parmesean cheese and a dash of parsley
There you have it, a cheap quick and easy dinner for you and your sweetheart :)
