I’m battling to get back to a normal routine the past few days. Part of that is I did make a concerted effort to create a nice dinner for us last night. That offering was Fettuccine Alfredo (with my homemade Alfredo sauce) topped with steak. Note the sauce recipe is towards the bottom on the linked to post.
As always start with fresh pasta:

Wow, focus was off there. 😦 Oh and that’s a loaf of Rosemary Parm Bread next to the pasta, courtesy of Costco. Not as good as homemade, but decent.
While the water was heating up, I stared the strips of steak sauteing in butter and garlic:


I’m throwing in the above picture primarily to show off that colander. This was right before I dumped the water. It was a Christmas present from my mom a couple years back. Super handy as it holds tight to the pot, is heat resistant silicone, and is much easier to clean up than a full colander.
Beyond that, since the camera was acting up, I’ll cut this a little short. Aside from the bread and pasta dishes, I also cooked up some butternut squash and added a touch of cinnamon to it. Viola; one almost gourmet meal:

I want one of those colanders !

Amazon, baby! 😀 They’re only $15 US on average (I wouldn’t trust the cheaper ones).
Love mine almost as much as my Kitchen-Aid stand mixer and my Vitamix.

Definitely a gourmet feast! I always enjoy your meal posts. Thank goodness I just finished dinner . . . otherwise I would really feel hungry.
