Did you know you can use evaporated milk as a heavy cream substitute in recipes? I make my Fettuccine Alfredo with low fat evaporated milk to help save on the calories.
I actually did not even know that it was out there until a couple years ago, but was very happy when I found it!
How often do you have heavy cream in the fridge? I don't unless making homemade whipped cream, but I usually always have a can of evaporated milk in the cupboard. This is a great recipe to have for those nights when you need a quick and delicious meal and your kitchen is bare!
Fettuccine Alfredo
1 box fettuccine
8 oz evaporated milk (low fat is preferred)
4 oz Parmesan cheese
1 small onion diced
1tsp garlic powder
Salt & Pepper to taste.
Cook the pasta as per the packaging. Saute the onion until it is soft, add the evaporated milk, cheese, garlic, salt & pepper till combined then add in the cooked pasta.
It's really simple and easy to prepare!
I'm making this tonight with sauteed chicken, which I am just cooking with the onion. You can add in cooked broccoli, mushrooms, shrimp etc.
Enjoy!
