This is simple and delicious. I didn't have mushrooms, so I used yellow squash zucchini and it was wonderful. Instead of buying a can of alfredo, I just made some (cream, garlic and parmesan). I found that this could use a bit more kick and so I added about 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper at the end. Both my husband and our friends that were over all voted to have this again!

40-something wife and Mom who's biggest kick is cookin' cheap and flavorful. A day of frugal living is only fun if you have a good dinner after!
I tend not to post my recipes because I cook by the seat of my pants. No, not *on* the seat...
I cook with what's available and draw liberally from my spice carousel. Just spin that thing like the money wheel on "The Price is Right"! My friend says I should open a restuarant. We've decided to call it "Whatchagot Cafe".
