Impromptu dinner last nite
Looking into the freezer, I found some cooked shrimp. I put a pot of water on to boil and cooked some fettuccine florentine - half are spinach noodles. In a skillet, I put one lonely frozen pre-cooked piece of bacon that I had chopped up with scissors. Next I added a bit of butter then flour to make a roux. Since I hadn't added any salt, I added some Murray River Flake salt (my current fave) and a bit of California Citrus Rub (both from Savory Spice Shop). Then I added about a cup of milk, making a nice white sauce. After tasting it (it had a nice bite from the citrus rub), I added the thawed shrimp and a generous sprinkling of parsley and some frozen, shredded parmesan. I put the lid on it to meld flavors until the pasta was done. A nice tidy dinner with leftovers for tonite.
