Dale and I went to have our winter tires installed last weekend at Costco. To the informed reader, that statement is a precursor to an intense afternoon. For the rest of you, I'll explain. We had decided to change the tires on both of our cars cause snowy weather was scheduled for early in the following week. Apparently we weren't the only ones to hear that hyper exclusive weather report, and there was a 3 hour wait until our car would be done. Seeing as how we had a lot of market research to do, and since Costco is a pretty diverse warehouse, I thought we'd fill all of that time productively.
WRONG!!! Turns out "market research" fills all of 20 minutes if they don't have what you want. We ended up buying a whole bunch of non-essentials, including one shrinkwrapped package including roughly 200 ounces of assorted pastas. In the last week we've had alfredo, tomato-alfredo 2x, marinara sauce, spicey parmesan shells, stroganoff, and pesto chicken.... good eating, but I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions of how to make pasta other than the above?

ReplyDeleteThis is mine and Mike's favorite! Add a little flour if the sauce is too thin. We also use half and half instead. It's pretty similar to an alfredo.
