​31 Days of MOO No. 14 MOO Fettuccini Alfredo Mix

​Alfredo noodles are one of our favourite side dishes. The cheesy deliciousness goes well with chicken or rissoles or sausages or fish, they're even good on their own or with a handful of vegetables tossed in.

This mix is one I keep in the pantry, ready to use. I like MOO mixes, they're the Cheapskates version of packet convenience foods without the cost or the nasty ingredients. When I'm making a batch I do 12 at a time, they keep in the pantry for up to three months (if you want to keep them longer freeze them). 

Fettuccini Alfredo Mix
Ingredients:
250g fettucine*, broken into pieces (whole grain pasta works fine)
2 tbsp plain flour 
2 tbsp powdered instant skim milk
1/2 tsp basil 
1 tsp lemon pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup parmesan cheese - the dried cheese in the packet, not fresh

Method:
Mix all ingredients and store in a ziplock bag.  To prepare. pour mix into a  large saucepan with 2 cups of water and 2 cups of milk. Stir well until all the powders are blended and noodles are well moistened.  Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until noodles are tender.  Remove from heat and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes.  Sauce will thicken as it cools.

Cost: 80 cents - even cheaper than Continental Noodles and Sauce on sale or Aldi pasta and sauce regular price.

*Note: I don't buy fettucine, it's too expensive. I simply either break up spaghetti or use macaroni or penne pasta instead.

Most of the ingredients I use are from Aldi (pasta, milk powder, plain flour, salt and parmesan cheese). The basil and garlic comes from our garden and I buy lemon pepper from Hindustan Imports.
