I was hungry for itillian but did not have the ingredients or time for a fresh tomato based sauce. I was in a hurry to get dinner on the table. Scrambling through the kitchen, I found a jar of Alfredo sauce, (I usually dont do much with canned or Jar type sauces) some sundried tomato paste, (left over from my attempt at a hummas recipe) Italian sausage (always on hand at my house) an onion and fresh garlic and a chunck of parmasian cheese. This dinner has become my favorite quick go to when I need dinner on the table fast. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
