Okay, so we have some leftover macaroni noodles that my sister and I are eating for dinner. We just need a sauce to go with them! We don’t want just butter tossed with the noodles, that’s boring and we’ve had it enough, so we need another idea. (We’re not opposed to a butter-based sauce, however).
This is what we have:
Most spices that you would find in a regular kitchen. We are out of OREGANO, though.
No vegetables. It’s depressing, really, but we don’t have any olives, mushrooms, stuff like that
No cream. We do have SKIM milk though, and I think we might have evaporated milk somewhere. Not certain though.
Not a lot of cheeses. Actually, I don’t think we really have any.
So basically we are limited to:
Spices
Chicken broth
Butter
Milk
White Wine (preferrably not tho)
Flour
So yeah, any ideas? Also, we don’t have any garlic. We have garlic powder and garlic salt though.
ALSO (Please answer!)
If a recipe calls for, say, 2 cloves of garlic, minced, how much garlic powder would that be similar to? Thanks so much, my sis and I appreciate it.
(Note: Going out and buying anything isn’t an option – the weather is horrible..)
No Parmesean cheese? That would be a plus.
Put butter in a sause-pan, melt it, add flour. Cook the flour for a few minutes, then add some milk and chicken broth — salt and whatever other spices you’d like. Thyme, maybe. Rosemary — whatever you want. And the garlic powder — it says on the jar how much equals a clove — probably no more than 2 cloves at most.
As I say, Parm would be nice — but any cheese could be melted in.
You don’t have NY veggies? Not even in the freezer? Just about anything would work: spinach, green beans — anything.
If you like heat, you could add that, as well (pepper flakes, or hot sause).
A little of that wine would dress it up, too. Dunno why you prefer not to.
But just taste it as you add things, and be creative.
