Can you make a pasta sauce from common condiments in the fridge such as ranch dressing, soy sauce & mustard?

Question

Not exactly that combination but you get what I mean? It's the end of the month and I've run out of grocery money. Anyway, I have the following condiments & ingredients: ranch dressing, soy sauce, mustard, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, crushed bay leaves, dried cilantro flakes, Tabasco, flour, eggs, milk, A1 steak sauce, olive oil, veggie oil, butter, and a few other things. Any cooks out there know a recipe that can utilize some of that stuff to make a pasta sauce for Rotini noodles?

Answer 1

I would just toss the pasta with some melted butter or the olive oil, garlic powder, italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Sounds great, enjoy!

Answer 2

Thank you all for your replies and opinions.

Answer 3

I like to use a packet of good seasons italian dressing mix and olive oil on hot cooked pasta. Just drain, pour the pasta back in the pan, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 the packet of salad dressing mix. It tastes awesome and it's quick easy and cheap. You can just use salt, pepper, garlic powder and italian seasoning and come up with the same kind of dish.

Answer 4

Sort-of Asian Noodle Stuff

To each cup cooked noodles, add about 1 Tablespoon oil or butter. Toss to coat. Add 1 teaspoon soy sauce, a few shakes garlic powder, and a shake of Tabasco. Yummy just like this. Add some scrambled egg or sauteed onion if you're feeling rambunctious. If you happen to have any leftovers (like, say, a spoonful of cooked or raw vegies or cooked chicken) you can throw that in, too. mmmmmm

Answer 5

Try this:



4 tablespoons butter or olive oil

2 tablespoons flour

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 to 1 1/2 cups milk

Salt and Pepper to taste

Even some of the Italian seasoning to taste



Melt butter in sauce pan or skillet add flour and stir until combined. Slowly stir in milk and this should thicken into a basic "white sauce". Add spices to taste and this will make an "alfredo" (which means white) sauce. If you have any type of cheese this is a good add too.



Goodluck!

Answer 6

You can make a basic bechamel sauce with butter, flour, and milk. Then you can flavor it however you wish. See the following links:

Answer 7

You could make an oil based sauce with the olive oil. Start with a small amount of oil then start seasoning it. When you find a taste you like go with it. Also you did not mention ketchup, but if you have any it can be seasoned into a pasta sauce.
