So, I had planned to do spinach fettuchini Alfredo in honor of St. Patty's day, but I could not find spinach fettuchini at the commissary. SO, I went with tri-color rotini to get a little green in there. I had also considered making my own rolls and adding food coloring to make them green, but forgot and ended up using Pillsbury french bread loaf. So much for festivity, but at least we ate a nice meal!!
I used a recipe for the Alfredo from cooks.com it turned out surprisingly tasty. I didn't want to make a real fatty dinner so I thought I would see if I could make it with milk rather than heavy cream. I found this little recipe and at first I thought it would be too runny, but I let it bubble and then sit for a few minutes and it thickened right up.
I also used the dry Parmesan cheese rather than the fresh which did make it a little grainy. Next time, I want to try it with fresh Parmesan and see how that works. Really though, I thought it tasted way yummy and ate the kids left overs minus Cadey's who ate hers and minus Will's who just ate his with butter and Parmesan.
