Turkey Alfredo and Pasta

I actually cooked dinner for the first time since Christmas, so it is also the first time for the New Year. It wasn't hard, and I used what we had at home and made us all food. 

Basically, our house always has someone over. And currently my other half's brother lives with us; and our friend always comes over and stays for about a week at a time.

I used 3 different types of pasta: linguini, bow-tie and shells
4 cans of ragu Alfredo sauce (I bought what was buy one get one free at Publix) 
1.5 pounds of turkey meat
Oregano and Garlic Salt


 I couldn't fit it all in the pot I had, so I ended up using the one I cooked the meat in.





It was super simple to make and tasted really good. At least, I think it was by the empty pots and pans and plates. It's the perfect 30 min meal. And you can obviously make it healthy by adding turkey meat, wheat pasta and even a healthier sauce.

White Sauce and the Beef that went with it

Have you ever been to a Japanese steakhouse and had the white sauce? It's fabulous, isn't it? I could eat it with pretty much anything. Actually, that gave me an idea for when I get home from work I'm going to make some fried rice and eat it with it. Yeah, you can say I have white sauce problems, but I'm ok with that (:

Anyways, it was super easier. I found a recipe online and I modified it a bit.

Recipe:
2 Cups mayo
6 1/2 fluid ounces of water
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 dash hot pepper sauce (the one in the picture isnt what I used, I changed my mind after I took it)
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
3/4 teapsoon of paprika
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch of salt

Then, just put it all together in a bowl and whisk it (or a food processesor) until its really really mixed. Then, season to taste. Some people like it different ways.




With this white sauce I made Teryaki Beef and Zucchini.

The beef was seriously just cooked with oil and a bunch of teryaki sauce, I also added cilantro because I like it.

The zucchini was cooked in oil and garlic and it was delish. I definitely reccomend the zucchini, but don't let it cook too long so it wont be mushy. Mushy zucchini isn't good zucchini. (:
