What's Cooking with Costco? Vol 1: Grilled Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo


Bonus post for this week:

This is not a meal-to-go like an earlier post. You actually have to turn on the stove and get some pots and pans out, but it is still simple enough after a busy day. 




 


What you need:

  • fettuccine
  • alfredo sauce
  • grilled chicken
  • mushrooms (optional)


You can get all these items at other places, not just at Costco, but the bulk pricing and selections at Costco makes this a great meal at a decent price to feed a family. (I'm not affiliated with Costco, other than I shop there a lot, obviously.)


Follow the directions on the fettuccine package. Costco has these in the refrigerated section, but the pantry fettuccine will do fine.


The mushrooms are optional. For this meal, I used a can of mushrooms, but either fresh or canned mushrooms will work depending on what you have and what you can find. Heat the mushrooms with a jar of Rao’s Alfredo sauce in the pan. I used one jar per package. 


The Costco size for both the fresh fettuccine as shown in the image above and the Alfredo sauce comes in two each, meaning 2 packages of fettuccine in each purchase and 2 jars of Alfredo sauce in each purchase. You could use one package of fettuccine with one jar of Alfredo sauce and save the other ones for later, or you can cook it all. It all just depends on how many people you're feeding.


Combine the cooked fettuccine with the mushroom and Alfredo sauce in the pan. Heat the grilled chicken in the microwave as directed on the package. Take the chicken off the wood skewers and serve it with the fettuccine Alfredo.

Of all the -isms ...

  Of all the -isms in our culture today, this one is often ignored and up there with the most nefarious. I’m talking about nepotism. This is because it is so stealthy. It is not obvious. You never know who is related to whom, either by blood or by marriage.  Unfortunately, you don’t get to choose who your family are. The treachery within family is stuff of legends and timeless novels. At the same time, the benefits of some families just keep on giving, bootstraps not needed at all, just look for the red carpet treatment. When it comes to nepotism, there are tell-tale signs over time, emphasis on time. There are certain people who seem to get away with everything. Rules for you but not for them. Some of these people aren’t qualified for the job, and yet they have been promoted countless times to the top just like that. Then there are some people who haven't done much and yet they’re bestowed with awards and recognitions nonstop just for showing up. Meanwhile, the rest of us are...

What’s Cooking Vol. 4: Garlic Bread

  This is a side. It’s really nothing, but it’s one of our favorite no meat dishes, so I thought I’d share this as an idea for a side during Lent.  What you need: - bread - butter - garlic seasoning - shredded Parmesan cheese If you have a loaf of bread, it’s even better. It works with everyday sliced bread as shown in the image above. Melt the butter in the microwave until it is soft enough to mix but not liquid. It doesn’t take long, like several seconds. The amount of butter varies depending on the bread and how much parmesan you’d like. Mix the butter with garlic seasoning and the shredded parmesan cheese. Spread it on the bread and put it in the oven or toaster oven. Baking time will vary depending on how toasted you like your bread. Bake until the butter is melted into the bread or until the parmesan cheese is slightly toasted.  There are many garlic seasonings out there, but this Weber one is my favorite, not salty, just herbs and garlic. The same goes for the s...
