Well.....Smith's is having their "case lot" sale and one of my purchases was a case of Ragu Alfredo. All the "prepper" guru's advise to have lots of gravy & sauces to help make things palatable and create other choices. (plain rice would be a bit BORING).......... In my mind's eye I can see possibilities. As for me.........i'd rather go without than to eat something yucky.....so that is my challenge...............as things turned out I have 2 recipes I'm working with for my case of Ragu Alfredo so far.............
Ragu Alfredo & Chicken and Alfredo Pizza.
Last night we tinkered with the Ragu Alfredo and actually it was quite good. Mind you the Alfredo sauce is a "base" for something good. Kind of like a blank slate becoming a picture. Anyway.....I digress..................
Ragu Alfredo (serves 6-8)
Olive Oil
Chopped onions
chopped garlic
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp Tapenade (cause that's what was in the fridge.....lol........could use pesto, tomato sauce, etc.....)
chicken broth (enough to make a sauce consistency ....about 1 cup)
fresh mushrooms (in times of plenty.......otherwise use canned or dehy or freeze dried)
shrimp or chicken (we had a leftover roasted chicken breast---can be freeze dried, etc )
Jar of Ragu Alfredo sauce
salt
fresh ground pepper
dash of cream (add last)
any pasta (Penne is great!)
Saute onions and garlic..........add the rest of ingredients and simmer long enough for flavors to come together. Add the cream last. Serve over warm pasta. Voila!
We are having the Chicken & Alfredo Pizza tomorrow............still have leftovers of the Alfredo for tonight. Will post on the pizza tomorrow............if it's any good that is............
Enjoy! deb
PS some of the BEST chicken dishes I've had were with Freeze Dried Chicken-----I get mine from Emergency Essentials............blew me away good! so............don't turn your nose up at things till you try them............lesson learned.
