Creamy Fettuccine Toss

Creamy Fettuccine Toss--our version of Alfredo
From Janae J.

1/4c margarine
1T flour
2t chicken bouillon
3/4t dried basil leaves
1/4t garlic powder
1/8t pepper
1c. evaporated milk (nonfat or 2%)
1c milk
1/4c grated parmesan cheese
16oz noodles (we like fettuccine, penne, or rotini)

Melt margarine in saucepan. Add flour, bouillon, basil, garlic powder, pepper and combine over medium heat. Add milks and whisk. Cook until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Add to noodles.

Add ins: my favorite is chicken, wilted spinach, diced fresh tomatoes, and toasted pine nuts. You can also do bacon, crumbled cooked salmon, or shrimp. You can cook the sauce while the noodle water is put on to boil and the chicken is defrosting--and have it all made in 20 minutes.
