Sauteed Onion Linguine

Basically everyone this is just a fancy way of saying alfredo. Which for me it was great which explains why I was sitting at the dinner table eating it pretty much alone. Souli and Brev were not big fans, but I throughly enjoyed it. So for those of you who like alfredo this will be good, those of you who don't I suggest stop reading right now. I made this without meat, but I think you could add chicken and it would have been even better more expensive but probably better. Teri and Jenny with your husbands I think that would be a must. So for all of you fettucine alfredo lovers you will love this.

4 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. flour
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 stalk celery, finely diced
2 cups milk
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Hot cooked linguine noodles

Melt butter. Saute onions and celery until onions start to brown. Stir flour into butter and onions until a smooth paste forms. Slowly stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Add salt, garlic powder, and cream, and continue cooking and stirring until thickened and bubbly. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve over hot cooked linguine or fettuccini noodles.

It also said you could make it in a more seafood sauce. Follow the recipe above, but add 4 green onions, chopped. (Do not saute the onions.) Add 1 6 1/2 oz. can minced clams, undrained, to the milk, garlic powder, and salt. Cook as directed. Serve over hot noodles. I think you could also add shrimp too. Enjoy, it was a good really cheap dinner. I enjoyed it, even though no one else did.
