It's Not Alfredo Pasta

We were going to have pasta with mushroom Alfredo sauce for dinner but when hubby started to cook the Alfredo sauce he realized that we didn't have any Parmesan cheese. (oops!) So since necessity is the mother of invention, he made an "oh crap we have no Parmesan cheese sauce"... I will post the recipe below.

It's Not Alfredo Pasta w/Mushrooms. (Mushrooms were sauted in garlic butter and place on the pasta and not *in* the sauce.)







^^This plate is hubby's plate ... he fed the baby off of it as well as himself.


Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella Salad (because he had to slice up the mozzarella)












Oh Crap We Have No Parmesan Sauce

Fat Free Half and Half (or whole cream if you're not counting the calories)
Mozzarella Cheese
Butter
Kosher Salt

Place 1/2 quart of cream, 1 stick of butter and two pinches of salt in a pot. Bring to a boil SLOWLY (do NOT put it on high) and while stirring add in the mozzarella cheese. Remove from heat and serve. If using half and half you will need to add a small amount of flour to thicken.

Cam says it looks "Delicious", and he is right. Sometime mistakes can be better than what was intended.

What is it you have garnished the top of it with? Green onion?
