sauce

Last night I left my cat Oscar at Josh's to play with Josh's cat Hank. Oscar has been so sad since Lola went away so I figured he needed a slumber party with his cat friend. Apparently he woke Josh up meowing at 5:30 so he brought him back to my house and woke me up at 7:30. Since I was up I decided to go ahead and get started on my list for the day. I did everything on my list before 11:00. It was awesome! I felt like I could enjoy my whole day. I really enjoy cooking so I decided I would make a good dinner. I found a recipe for a homemade parmesan cream sauce so I decided I would try it. If you know anything about me, you know I LOVE chicken fettucine. I have had a good amount of trouble finding a sauce that I like so that I could make it at home. The ones in the jar are not good. I decided I was done making pasta with gross sauce so I needed to find a recipe. The first one I tried was a complete success and it was so so easy! Here it is!
Parmesan Cream Sauce

INGREDIENTS:
2tablespoons butter
2teaspoons flour
3/4cup whipping cream
1/2cup grated Parmesan cheese

PREPARATION:
  1. Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add flour; cook and stir with wire whisk 1 minute. Add cream, whisking vigorously until thick and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan.
I cooked some chicken and some angel hair pasta and then just stirred it all together. We had some french bread, kool-aid, and even had sno-biz for dessert. It was divine. I love having time to do things I love to do. I can't wait to bake my tie-dye cake for Ashley's cookout!
