Gluten Free Alfredo Pasta - 2 versions!

I have long been a fan of Alfredo sauce on pasta. Sad was the day for me when pasta was no longer in my culinary repertoire - or so I thought! I have found an abundance of gluten-free pastas available at various groceries, including Wal-Mart. One pasta I have recently acquired a taste for is Orzo pasta. These two variations of Alfredo Pasta are delicious, quick and easy to make. 

Sausage Alfredo


Ingredients:

1 package Jimmy Dean All Natural Sausage
2 jars Priana Four Cheese Alfredo Sauce (ALDI's; yes! It is gluten free!)
1 tsp. McCormick's Cajun seasoning
Fresh or frozen broccoli, thawed and cut up into small pieces
Orzo or other pasta



Directions:Saute Jimmy Dean Natural sausage until brown. Add broccoli, and saute more until heated through. Add Alfredo sauce. Serve on cooked Orzo or other pasta.

3 lb. chicken breasts, cubed
2 jars Priana Four Cheese Alfredo Sauce
1 cup Frozen Spinach, thawed and drained
1 package fresh mushrooms, chopped up

Oopsies

A recipe from the Facebook group "Weightloss With Us"

Oopsies 6–8 depending on size.

3 eggs
100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream cheese
a pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking powder or cream of tarter (can be excluded)

Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another.
Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving.

Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. If you choose, 1tsp of cream of tarter or baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like).

Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.

Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray.
Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden.

You can eat Oopsies as bread or use them as a bun for a hotdog or hamburger. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking them, for instance poppy, sesame or sunflower seeds.
