Squash Alfredo

Squash Alfredo on Spaghetti How could I resist then when the Alfredo Sauce was made with squash ?   Miriam suggest yellow squash but I only had zucchini.  This was a lot more healthy than a full fledged alfredo sauce. I made this because, I had to find out, how this sauce turned out.  It is a first for me.  I apologize for the poor quality photo.  None of the pictures came out but I expect to make this again and hope to add a better photo. Squash Alfredo Sauce on Spaghetti ( adapted from Meatless Meals fo r Meat Eaters) Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped ¾ cup milk ¾ cup pureed zucchini squash (puree the raw squash in a food processor) 1 tablespoon  GF flour 2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded Salt and pepper to taste   Method:   In a saucepan, heat olive oil and cook onion.    Whisk in the milk, pureed squash, and flour. ...

Recipe Box # 23 - Spinach Alfredo Pasta

Image
Taken in the dark in blackout  I decided to post another of Miriam's recipes here since I was setting up the Recipe Box, this morning, and wanted a delicious dish.  This was creamy and for those of you who are gluten-free, it fits the bill. Again, I am going to list only the ingredients.  Below is the recipe for the sauteed spinach. Pasta of choice (I used shells) 1/2 cup butter (I used less - I rarely use butter so I chose to put in two tablespoons instead the amount given - I would guess, it would have been better with all of the butter) milk garlic cloves Parmesan Cream cheese (I said it was creamy.) salt and pepper sauteed spinach Sauteed Spinach ( adapted) 5 cups fresh baby spinach 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic salt and pepper to taste In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook all ingredients together, stirring frequently, until spinach is just wilted. Thanks to Miriam of Meatless Meals for Meat Eaters. Now for the Recipe ...

I have decided to select one of my cook books or one of my cooking magazines, each week, and make some of the recipes found in the weekly choice.  I decided to start with one of our fellow bloggers, Miriam from Meatless Meals for Meat Eaters.   I have more papers sticking out of this book then one would imagine.  Each time, I open to book, I find another recipe, I have to mark. I cooked from Miriam's blog first so when her book was published, I did not hesitate to order it.  I knew, I would love it and cook from it, the latter being more important.  I will share one here and post the other two, I just made, on My Sweet and Savory , in the next few days. Miriam has divided the book into sections, my favorite being Dairy and Egg Dishes.  Despite this, the three recipes, I plan to share, do not come from that section.  Tonight's dish comes from , Beans, Legumes and Grains.  The book is laid out well with a recipe to a page which makes it easy ...
