Road Trip Recipe: Capellini Alfredo ala Burger King


My latest recipe was developed last March in a Los Angeles motel room. I call it, "Capellini Alfredo ala Burger King."

Ingredients:

Angel hair pasta, as desired.

Extra virgin olive oil, to taste - use enough to help the next four ingredients stick to the pasta, but not so much that you end up with a puddle of excess oil.

Salt, to taste.

Pepper, to taste.

Granulated garlic, to taste.

Parmesan cheese, grated, to taste - it's better to use a lot and lay it on thick.

1 packet per serving of Ken's Steakhouse Ranch dressing from Burger King - if you don't use all the dressing they give with the salads, it's a great way to use it up instead of throwing it away. Of course, for a family, it's unlikely there will be enough extra dressing for everyone, so you'll have to find a grocery store and buy a bottle.


Directions:

Boil angel hair pasta to al dente and drain.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil onto pasta and toss.

Sprinkle salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Toss.

Squeeze one packet per serving of Ken's Steakhouse Ranch dressing from Burger King onto still-hot pasta and toss thoroughly.

Serve and enjoy!

NOTE: While this doesn't result in the traditionally thick Alfredo sauce, it certainly is as flavorful and is a wonderful change from whatever else you've been eating while away from home.
