From your shelf
- one 15 oz jar four cheese alfredo pasta sauce
Staples
- 8 oz pasta
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add 8 oz pasta and stir to separate. Cook until al dente, about 9 minutes, then drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
- While the pasta cooks, pour the entire 15 oz jar of four cheese alfredo sauce into a large skillet and warm over medium heat, stirring often, until it steams gently, about 3 minutes.
- Add the drained pasta to the warm sauce and toss to coat, adding pasta water a few tablespoons at a time if the sauce seems thick. The sauce should cling to the pasta without pooling.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper to finish.
Note Toss in 2 oz fresh spinach or thawed frozen spinach if you have it, or stir in chopped fresh parsley at the end. Leftovers keep refrigerated for two days; reheat gently with a splash of water to loosen. Serve with a simple green salad and crusty bread.
