I do many things, but when I'm doing what I love – it is cooking! Welcome to my happy place filled with all things delicious!
My little baby child (yes, she’s 16, but she’s still my little baby child!) hasn’t been feeling well. Turns out, she has a sinus infection. Pretty much any time, but especially when they are sick – they ask their mama for something – they get it.
She’s one that loves alfredo – and she prefers it without protein – just sauce and pasta. And, that’s what she wanted for dinner. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough parmesan or cream to do a full recipe – so I did a recipe just for her.
I just used 1 tbsp butter, 1 tsp minced garlic, about 1/3 – 1/4 cup of heavy cream and about the same of parmesan cheese. I just melted my butter in a small sauce pan. Then I added in the garlic and let it cook for a couple min, then reduced the heat and added in my cream – then added in the cheese a little bit at a time, stirring as I added it.
Then I just tossed it with a single serving size of fettuccine pasta, topped with some fresh basil – and my baby was happy!
