Welcome to a new segment of my blog which I am going to call the "How To" segment. Our first feature today will be How to Improvise Alfredo sauce (when cooking in a foreign country that doesn't believe in cheese...) What kind of country doesn't believe in cheese you ask? Well, Ugandans don't really cook with cheese... Like ever. Yeah, I know! This ruins my American ideology that any food item + cheese = more amazing food item!
In light of this however, I have had to learn how to make things a little differently. Some things just aren't the same (Mac and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches) but some... Such as Pasta Alfredo can still be successfully ventured!
Of course you start with the same basic ingredients. Pasta.
A healthy assortment of fresh onions, green peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes, dani (cilantro), Italian seasoning, and garlic.
(Also, fresh spinach and grilled chicken, not pictured, but quite delicious!)
First pan sear your spices and veggies in a generous dose of olive oil, then add the secret ingredient... Plain yogurt! You wouldn't think this would be good, but once everything is together, you can hardly tell it's not real Alfredo sauce from cheese!
Pour over pasta of choice, lightly toss and enjoy!
This has been "How To" with Jo!
Stay creative my good people!
