Lemon Alfredo Pasta

Ingredients:

  • 1 box angel hair pasta
  • 2 jars Ragu Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce
  • 1 carton whole white mushrooms
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 carton grape tomatoes
  • garlic
  • Italian seasoning
  • oil
  • lemon pepper seasoning

Procedure:

  • Pasta–>
    1. Bring one large pot of water to boil. Add salt and a bit of oil so pasta won’t stick.
    2. Cook pasta for 5-7 minutes.
    3. Drain.
  • Sauce–>
    1. Slice mushrooms. Squeeze healthy amount of lemon juice onto slices.
    2. Cut tomatoes in half. Squeeze healthy amount of lemon juice onto tomatoes.
    3. Saute garlic in large pan. Add mushrooms and tomatoes. Saute until tender.
    4. Add alfredo sauce. Add Italian seasonings and lemon pepper to desired taste.
    5. Reduce heat and let simmer 5 minutes.
    6. Stir in remaining lemon juice.
    7. Reduce to low heat. Stir continuously for two minutes.
  • Combine–>
    • Add pasta and sauce together and toss. Top with fresh parmesan, romano or mozzarella if desired.

I fixed this pasta with asparagus (cooked in lemon) and grilled salmon (for pescatarians) or grilled chicken (for meat-eaters). Dry rub the meat with lemon pepper, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Then grill.

I also cooked the famous garlic bread, and so that all flavors would blend, I added a dab of lemon juice and lemon pepper to the mixture for the bread. If you know the recipe, you know what I mean. If not, you have not earned the right to know it. :-)
