Homegrown Spinach Alfredo and Baby Back Ribs - by Sunscape

I picked another round of fresh spinach from the garden towers in the greenhouse to make Alfredo for a side dish to the baby back ribs.

I simmered the ribs on the stove for 1 1/2 hours before marinating them with a jar of Jalapeno Cowboy Candy that I made last fall.  It is a wonderful sauce for any pork or chicken dish.  While the ribs were finishing under the broiler I prepared the Alfredo sauce.

After washing the spinach, I sautéed the leaves with some garlic, onions, and olive oil.

I keep a jar of homemade alfredo mix in the pantry.  All I need to add is the cream, parmesan cheese, and cream cheese (optional) simple and easy for making a creamy recipe.  

#### Alfredo Sauce Mix

1 cup dry milk powder 
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cornstarch 
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder

To Use: In a saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of cold milk, 1/2 cup of mix, 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, and 2 oz cream cheese (optional). 

Turn heat on medium and heat until smooth and thickened, stirring constantly.

Once the sauce has thickened to my liking, I tossed it with the cooked spaghetti, some red pepper flakes, and dinner was ready.

I have to admit, having the fresh picked spinach had a nice strong flavor compared to what I buy at the grocery store.  I'm going to start another round of seedlings to continue enjoying their scrumptiousness.

Can you taste the delicious ribs through the picture? I could have kept eating, but I have to behave myself.  ;-)
