Yes, I finally found something posted that's close to our family recipe! With these changes, I'd give it 5 stars: Cook the pasta in salt, but omit it later on. Omit the onion powder and possibly substitute real, diced onions. Substitute milk for the heavy cream. (I suppose that'd be deliciously creamy, though!)

I have been living in Florida for 5 years, and currently I do not work. So I have a lot of time on my hands to experiment with food. My favorite recipe book is my mother. She is very savvy when it comes to food as well. I would have to say that my passion is cooking and making up new things to share with others. I try to keep it simple so if you work, you can still enjoy good food that is easy and non-time consuming. My biggest pet peeve is doing things over and over till I feel it is near perfect. Which is something I would have to say I got from my father.
