Last night...
I made my long awaited turkey Alfredo...
I kinda just threw it together...which seems to work better for me than planning...to be honest...
I sauteed some green onions and garlic in basil olive oil (which will always be a staple in my kitchen from here on out!) a sprinkle of dried herb mix, and fresh sliced mushrooms and then added the de-boned turkey to simmer in the flavors...boiled my pasta meanwhile ( I used a nice veggie pasta by Barilla...a friend who doesn't love veggies gave it to me to try lol ) threw the (jarred
) Alfredo sauce in with the turkey mess and then added 2 handfuls of cleaned, fresh spinach...drain pasta and toss your way to a happy tummy
A sprinkle of garlic salt and some crushed red pepper finished it off nicely...but it would've been gooder to have some fresh parmesan to sprinkle...
Note: I once asked an Italian man what was a good jarred Alfredo sauce and he said, "there isn't one". I have tried many, and he is correct. I need to learn to make my own...it's the only way to get that truly wonderful flavor. Alfredo is probably the only white sauce I even like...I'm just not much for sauces and gravy. I know...merde! I am tres French but...I never did say I was right
