I’m a married mother of 3. Who loves living in Minnesota, prep ahead cooking, and couldn’t live without them now. No more worries about the age old question “What’s for Dinner?”. I am also transitioning my family into the slow food and clean eating movement. I believe it’s best if we can eat food in it’s most natural state. I love to share the information I have been gaining through this whole experience. I’m also a trained personal chef. Cooking is a passion and hobby of mine. Hope your are enjoying the content of my blog.

Budget Bits: Alfredo Sauce

Posted on October 22, 2012October 22, 2012 by Northerly Nosh

WATCH OUT, this is very addicting! I love to make Seafood Fettuccine and Alfredo pizza’s with this recipe but you can also just make the Alfredo sauce for dipping breadsticks.

Alfredo Sauce

2 Cups of Cream – $3.39 Organic Valley
1 Stick of Butter – $1.00 Organic Butter ($3.99 lb.)
1 Clove of Garlic Minced – $.15 Organic
1 Cup of Parmesan Reggiano Cheese (or just Parmesan Cheese if you prefer)- $1.37

Total for ingredients in this recipe: $5.91

Prep Day: Melt the butter over medium low heat. Add your cream, minced garlic and grated cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. Simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes to allow to thicken, stir occasionally. This is so simple but so delicious!

Cool and freeze.

Serve Day: Thaw. Heat till hot and creamy.
