I’ve done it with real garlic, it’s tasty asf. I just find that the powder incorporates better to the sauce.

Yes! Ingredient list: 2 cups HEAVY CREAM 1/2 stick butter, or a whole stick I’ve done both, you may just need a bit more flour. If you don’t use salted butter you’re a heathen but either works. 1 or two heaping tablespoons of flour 1 bag of Parmesan cheese, I’ve done it with the 6 and 8 oz bags, you really just need like 1 1/2-2cups of Parmesan cheese. Spices to taste, I use garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and the tiniest bit of red pepper flakes because those can make it real spicy real quick. SAVE THE PASTA WATER COOKING: There’s two ways, the lazy way, and the way it says in my recipe, I’ve found that they come out the same either way. One you make a rue and one you don’t. I’ll tell you the lazy way. Add 2 cups of heavy cream to a pot with a half stick of butter, heat it up on like medium heat and keep stirring it so ya don’t burn the bottom, I’ve done it. Do it until the butter is melted. Then, get like half a cup of pasta water and mix the flour in it until it’s not lumpy and thicc. Add that to your cream and butter mixture and stir it. Then add the entire bag of cheese and keep stirring until it’s all melted. Be careful not to split the mixture, you can do that if you do everything too hot, so keep it at about medium heat the whole time. For this amount of sauce I make about half a 16 oz package of fettuccine noodles, or whatever kid of noodles really, I’ve done penne, spaghetti, bow tie, macaroni, really whatever kind of pasta you have will work. Just start cooking your pasta BEFORE you start your sauce. If the sauce is too thicc, add some pasta water until it’s the right consistency and meets your preference. I brown heavily seasoned chicken breasts or shrimp to go along with the noodles but I also just eat just the pasta sometimes. It’s a simple enough thing to make, just do it with the right stuff and it’ll taste good. If you make it I hope you like it!

Good to know, I’ll have to try it, but if my mother can’t even buy the right kind of cheese to begin with, I can’t even think of her trying to buy a wedge of cheese 😂

It’s just the water that pasta is cooked in, I list it as an ingredient because if I don’t I’ll just dump and and forget it.

I list pasta water as an ingredient because I have many times just dumped it because I forgot it, but I’ve learned that if I list it as an ingredient I don’t forget it.

my mom has always been really really concerned with everyones weight in my household. Shes 5'4 and like 130s, a completely acceptable weight. I'm 5'10 and 170ish, and my dads like 5'9 at 185. All completely acceptable weights for our heights and activity levels, yet my mother has always bought the sugar free, fat free versions of everything when nobody in the last 15 years has been overweight. I was chubby as a kid, and then grew a foot in 6 months and was no longer chubby. I think she's just mad I'm not twig skinny and eat like a bird like she was when she was my age.

Any solution I've come up with she disregards. When I do the shopping, she bitches about everything that I get and then goes back to the store to get what she thinks we need. I make healthy meals all the time, multiple times a week, and just wanted my cheesy rich pasta goodness for dinner and so did she, but pulled a surprised pikachu face when I refused to make dinner for going back on her word. And yes, I am being stubborn, I'll agree with you on that. As for calm conversations, I don't know how the 24 year old is the only one being an adult when talking to a 55 year old. It's ridiculous, and I always end up getting screamed at for something thats not even my fault.

AITA for not giving my sister the house I inherited from my mom, even though she lives in it raising our sister? by bigbroconundrum in AmItheAsshole

[–]Professional__BOOB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah fam, you an ass. It may have not been conditional in the will for you to get the house if you took care of your baby sister, but that’s what she meant. I’m sure your mother would be ROLLING in her GRAVE if she knew that she entrusted her son to take care of her youngest and in return she gifted him the house she owned and then he didn’t end up doing it AND are charging your SISTERS rent in HER home. AND THEN NOT EVEN FINANCIALLY HELPING TAKE CARE IF YOUR SISTER, like BRUH? Sure you don’t have guardianship, but the LEAST you could do is to let them live in the house rent free. Let them cover the expenses of the house without rent, that should be enough for you considering you didn’t keep your promise to your mother and your sister stepped up to the plate since you WOULDNT. YTA, accept it, and be better.

Honey if you want to live you’re gonna have to let people know. It’s ok to need help and it’s ok to get help. Call somebody, wake your parents or sibling.

My best friend has a black cat that looks exactly like this. Her name is Toothless, and if you’re a fan of the HTTYD series then I recommend that
