chicken alfredo?

Alfredo sauce

1 stick of butter or equivalent in margarine or olive oil
dash garlic salt or one chopped clove
dash pepper
1 cup milk
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
flour

I melt the butter, margarine or oil in a pan. I add the garlic and saute if needed. Then I add the parmesan and stir quick I add the milk. turn down the heat. then if the sauce is too thick or runny I add more milk or parmesean. If it looks greasy I add a spoon full of flour to absorb the grease. stir well.

They sound like pizza toppings to me. Or ingredients for a pasta sauce. :yum

actually we are out of almost everything :O no milk... i cant eat tomato sauce anymore... and DH firmly rejects anything vaguely oriental

i think i will try to invent a thingy. a casserole. i have rice, salsa, chicken. cheese. refried beans. i'll go throw it all in a dish and name it something, so that DH won't know.... :shifty

I'm thinking stir fry with other veggies you might have on hand (thin sliced carrots, peas, mushrooms, onions, brocolli. Anything.
