Olive Garden's My B*tch - Easy Alfredo

There was a lot of the great lasagna that we had over the weekend left over.  Unfortunately there was no more marinara left to put on top.  We talked about having it for dinner last night with a big salad. I thought it would be as simple as just reheating the lasagna and throwing together the salad.  Wrong.

"I'm just going to whip up a quick alfredo to top the lasagna with tonight since we're out of marinara." Yep, that's Chuck.  It really didn't make the dinner much more complicated to put together, didn't take any longer than just reheating the lasagna in the oven, and switched it up deliciously.

One bite in and Chuck suggested the name of this post.  Spot on.

Here's the recipe:

Chuck's Easy Alfredo

Ingredients 

     1 T            Butter
          1 T            Flour
          1 c.            2% milk, warmed up slightly
          2 T            Parmesan cheese
          1/2 c.        Gruyere cheese, shredded
                            Fresh ground pepper
                            Kosher salt

Directions

     1:     Melt the butter in a small pan over low/med heat.

  
     2:     Once melted, add the flour, whisking often until well combined.   

      3:     Add the warmed milk, whisk together and let cook for a couple of minutes.

     4:     Whisk in the Parmesan cheese followed by the Gruyere.

     5:     Add a pinch of pepper and allow to simmer for a few minutes.

     6:     Add salt to taste if needed


It's really that easy.  Or at least Chuck made it look that easy.  He drizzled it onto the plated pieces of lasagna and we had it with salad and sourdough that was put in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of pepper and garlic salt.
