Two Step Spinach and Chive Linguine Alfredo


Okay. If that doesn't sound fancy schmancy, I am not sure what will float your boat...but it sounds pretty gourmet to me!

If you have no time to cook, but want something that is about as easy as Easy Mac-n-Cheese {I remember thinking to myself...how can it be easier than it already is!} but want something worthy of serving for a special occasion...let's see...maybe a child passed a test, a hubby got a promotion, a child got a passing "D", the baby slept through the night, the lawn was dry enough to mow etc. this may just fit the bill! Actually, it may be three steps. OOPS!

Spinach and Chive Linguine Alfredo

Ingredients:

1 pkg. Spinach and Chive Linguine {Trader Joe's OR plain ole' linguine noodles for the littles

1 jar. Alfredo sauce {YEP! STORE bought!} Trader Joe's, Newman's Own etc.

Maybe a few sundried tomatoes or sauteed mushrooms if you want to really go gourmet.





Directions:

*Prepare noodles according to directions on package.

*Heat Alfredo sauce according to directions on jar.

*Pour warm sauce over warm noodles and toss together. Serve and enjoy your gourmet dinner!

If you are planning on serving this for company...have them bring the bread or a salad and serve Italian Cream Sodas and you have got a quick dinner that will take minutes to prepare.

This is a great dinner to take to a new Momma as they are able to make it when they need it. Not much prep on your end and no need for lots of freezer space or in the fridge! You may want to go ahead and slice a loaf of french bread and butter it because it can easily be frozen and used as needed.

Happy Thursday!
