Garlic scape alfredo with pasta
June 24, 2009
Picked up my second share of the year from the Maple Creek Farm CSA. Got word through e-mail that we’d be getting two quarts of strawberries, more lettuce, more garlic scapes and some parsley.
Last week, I made pesto with the garlic scapes… you haven’t seen that dish yet because we haven’t eaten it. The batch of garic scape pesto is hibernating in our freezer till later this summer! I debated on whether or not I should make another batch with this week’s scapes, but I was feeling too adventurous!
I decided to modify the “It’s ready already alfredo” recipe on the Magic Bullet web site. I used Silk creamer instead of heavy cream, and garlic scapes instead of garlic. I served it over whole wheat shell pasta topped with cherry tomatoes. As you can probably tell from the photo, the sauce didn’t thicken much. Otherwise, it was quite tasty! Hubby and I both enjoyed it!
We had some of the strawberries for dessert, but I’ll wait for another post to share what we did with the berries. 
We’ve got six heads of lettuce from our share, so lots of salads this week!!

Also, I still need to update everyone regarding the pig roast this past weekend. That post is coming… I promise!!!

love the colors in your healthy pasta. I guess my story is a reverse of yours; I married a vegetarian lol

Lovely looking ingredients! I’m so into garlic scapes and had a stir fry with them the other day…mmmm!
I see your dilemma about that pig roast; however my difference with my husband is his family’s filial piety thingy…that and they treat his mom like a living god (she’s never wrong even if she is) and they do this weird confucian worshipping of their ancestors thing too. They even have an altar in their den. They do not consider this a religion, though I’m not religious either.
I usually just suck it up and do whatever everyone else is doing (mostly ’cause I’m outnumbered); partly out of respect. However, that doesn’t mean I believe in their stuff; in fact at times I feel I’m the only normal person at these functions. And it certainly doesn’t mean you should have to compromise your beliefs even when you’re outnumbered. I just do the social stuff. I don’t eat crap I don’t want to eat and that’s that.
