Dinner and Dessert

So the hubby and I are trying to eat better, last night's dinner wasn't the healthiest thing but I did get hubby to eat asparagus!

Tortellini in Alfredo Sauce

• 1 1/2 tbsp : butter
• 1 tbsp: olive oil
• 1 cup: heavy cream
• 2 cloves: garlic
• 1/4 cup: grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup: mozzarella cheese
• a dash of cayenne pepper
• 1 package: Buitoni tortellini (I used 4 Cheese)

Start preparing the pasta according to package directions.
Melt butter, olive oil, and garlic in a fairly large skillet on medium heat. Once melted stir in cream and stir frequently and bring to a simmer. Stir in parmesan, once sauce has thickened, stir in the mozzarella. Throw in a dash or two, depending our your personal tastes, of cayenne and stir sauce until smooth. Drain pasta, toss in the sauce, and serve.

Now for dessert! Again not insanely healthy but it was really yummy!

 

Baked Peaches with Vanilla Ice Cream

• 2 peaches, halved and pitted
• 1 tbsp: butter, softened
• 1 tsp: cinnamon
• 1/2 tbsp: sugar
• a drizzle of honey

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place peaches skin side down in a small glass pan, spread with butter, and then sprinkle remaining ingredients over them. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Let them cool for 10 minutes. Slide skin off, place two halves in a bowl and place a scoop of ice cream on top...you can then spoon the sauce from the pan on top...mmm
