...just wanted to get a few words in before I call it a day. Well, everything is turned in for Germany... just waiting for them to send a letter of acceptance! ;P I know I'll get in just fine! Made my famous alfredo sauce earlier over chicken, farfalle, brocolli and spinach... I'm drooling again just thinking about it... Only eight ingredients and I already listed four of them in the last sentence... For anyone intested in trying it out:
I usually eyeball it, but I watched what I put in earlier (approx), and I made a shit-ton so I can have more later!
-3/4 stick of butter, heat it up - medium heat.
-Grind FRESH about 1 tablespoon of black pepper, add to butter, it will foam up a bit.
-Mince (or I prefer to put it through the garlic press) 3 good sized cloves of garlic and add to the butter also.
-Let the butter / pepper / garlic mixture simmer for about 2 minutes, don't burn the garlic!
-Add in a pound of chicken strips / cubes, allow to sear on each side 1-2 minutes.
-Add in about 2-3 cups of brocolli.
-Add in 2 pints of heavy cream. (Trust me, use the heavy cream, don't skimp out! Besides, this is the good kind of fat! Your body needs it!)
-Allow cream to heat up to nearly boiling.
-Add in spinach, about... hmmm... 1-2 handfuls, as much or little as you like!
-Let simmer while stirring for 15-20 minutes. Cook your pasta while doing this!
-After your sauce has reduced, add in a 1/2 pound of grated (Don't use Kraft - yuck! I use Bel Gioioso) parmesean. Stir in to melt and blend - takes about 1 minute.
-Drain pasta and you're ready to eat!
I promise you this will be the best alfredo sauce ever! :D Makes my day THAT much better! If you try it, let me know! My fiance absolutely LOVES it. Annnyway!!! Time for me to go get comfy in bed for a movie... Think we're gonna watch "The Tourist" with Depp and Jolie...
