Hey, GE! Those sound wonderful!

I do have a question: What kind of Alfredo sauce do you use? Is it one you prepared, or a store-bought item? Also, I thought that kind of sauce used flour as thickener.

I do know that there is a Walden Farms zero alfredo sauce. It isn’t too bad, but not what I would automatically reach for as a comfort food!

Classic Alfredo sauce is made using heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and maybe some other cheeses - pretty thick without adding thickener. I have made some from scratch a decade or so ago.

As you know, I keep a pantry that has several jars/cans of whatever quick stuff to use - heat and eat.

It just happened that I had some classic Alfredo sauce - Great Value Brand that had a use by date of May 2015. Only 2 carbs per 1/4 cup serving. Plenty for a cup or two of cabbage and a little Broccoli.

As soon as I saw the jar - doing a pantry check, I had this craving for the sauce, especially once I confirmed that the carbs count was small. Did a search and cabbage came up as one suggestion. Cabbage and Broccoli are always on hand these days for quick green legal veggies.

Can you “see” my Happy Face? Big flavor in that sauce! LOL

Only downside - no ice cream tonight. Traded the sat. fat in ice cream for the sat fat in Alfredo Sauce.

All I added was a tsp of EVOO to keep the cabbage from sticking and a little garlic and pepper.
