Go to any grocery store and walk down the pasta sauce aisle. Literally grab any jar and look at the ingredients. A number of sauces list all types of chemicals to preserve them – including a high amount of sodium. I picked up a jar of Alfredo sauce and instantly put it down. I decided to just make my own and know what’s going in my food.
Alfredo sauce is one of those weird sauces that doesn’t have any origin to Italy at all, yet you can order in nearly all Italian restaurants in the states. Go overseas and you’ll get looked at like a classless American. I don’t care for judgement but especially over food – you like what you like and so what? So if you’re like me and just like good food (and no judgement), you’re in the right place. Please continue reading. 🙂
This recipe makes enough for 2. And you can see from the ingredients below just how simple this recipe is but trust me, it certainly doesn’t taste simple.
As promised from my video, I also wanted to link to the spices I used on my salmon. This is all I used and the salmon tasted like it came from a gourmet restaurant. Link: Herbs Special for Fish.
