Dinner:
1.5 sticks butter
1 c parmesan cheese
1 c sour cream
white wine
1.25 lb spaghetti -- should use less?
2 c chopped ham
1 c. cooked peas
Melt butter until foamy, add cheese, whisk well, until cheese starts to melt. Add sour cream, keep whisking until sort of elasticy, add some white wine to thin.
Pour sauce over pasta, add peas and ham, toss. Serve with french bread (and salad, next time -- maybe wilted spinach).
[Lots left over: lunch for a couple of days. Had James been hungry, though, maybe no leftovers. (Next time cut recipe in half, see how that works.) Chances are, he'll go through the leftovers for snacks tomorrow. It's not fair: he eats more than is humanly possible and still has washboard abs.]
Dessert:
1.5 c. chocolate chips -- too much, next time use only 1 c.
3/4 c. heavy cream -- too much, next time use only 1/2 c.
1 8 oz. tub Cool Whip
Place chips and cream in glass bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes on high. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and fold in Cool Whip until mixed thoroughly. Either place in individual serving dishes or cover with plastic wrap, chill in fridge. Serves six, really.
Note: when asking your teenage son to taste test, don't believe him when he says it needs more chocolate.
