Something my kids like a lot is pasta carbonara...I usually make my own cream sauce but a jar of alfredo works too. I usually start the sauce by melting 3 tablespoons of butter and adding 3 minced cloves of garlic (because garlic = awesomeness) let the garlic soften but not brown, then add 3 tablespoons of flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for 5 min or so on med heat, stirring constantly then add two cups of milk a bit at a time while still stirring. Once all the milk is in let simmer to thicken and add 1/4 cup grated permesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste and a dash of nutmeg. Cook your pasta and just before straining add 1/2 cup frozen peas. Let water return to boil then strain. Serve pasta and peas with sauce and sprinkle crumbled bacon over the top. Easy cheap and yummy
