We just had to come up with something for dinner and we were in “one of those quandaries”. Nothing really sounded good. Then I looked in the freezer and saw some bay scallops – the little ones – and thought, “Maybe a nice Scallop Alfredo.” I passed it by Robin and she said yes. So here is our dinner. And here too is our recipe for Alfredo Sauce. It’s not for the faint of heart – one must be quite heart healthy. (In her book “Easy Tasty Italian”, Laura Santtini says that an Alfredo Sauce is “.. the king of the fresh pasta sauces … and is described as a ‘heart attack on a plate'”) But also know that an Alfredo Sauce is one of the Classic Italian sauces that was designed to complement fettuccini pasta. Enjoy the sauce!

Oh, and yes, don’t forget the Boise Farmers Market at 10th and Grove starts tomorrow, Saturday April 5.
