Fettuccine Alfredo Carbonara

During the busy week, many people usually opt for takeout. I get it! It’s quick, delicious, and it’s almost instant. HOWEVER, there are meals that you can cook for your family for a fraction of the cost that you would spend at a restaurant. ALSO, a lot of these meals can be made in under 30 minutes.

I made this delicious pot of fettuccine alfredo carbonara for my family. This whole pot was about 6 to 8 servings, and it cost me under $10 ( which is less than ONE meal at the Olive Garden or Red Lobster… although I love both places)

Here’s the breakdown

Fettucine ….. $1.50

Prego’s Savory Bacon Alfredo Sauce  on sale for $2.99 ( you can use a different brand of course)

1 lb of onions……. $0.98

Frozen Peas…….$0.99

Minced Garlic…….$0.99

Vegetable oil………… ALREADY HAD IT AT HOME

= $7.45

So not only did I save a lot of money, by making this at home I seriously whipped a new family favorite meal in less than 20 minutes. Give this recipe a try and tell me what you think. XOXO
