Ramen noodles with alfredo sauce

As I've written before, one of my favorite things about Ramen noodle recipes is that they're a great way to use up the last bits of many foods (Ever throw out a milk carton that still had a cup or so left, because you forgot about it until a few days after it expired?).

Ingredients:

• 1 block Ramen noodles (without the seasoning packet)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Optional (if you don't mind making this a non-vegetarian meal) - 1/4 cup bacon bits, chopped cooked bacon, or leftover cooked chicken pieces

1. In a small pot, heat the milk, butter, and cheese. Stir until blended.
2. When the mixture begins to boil, turn the heat down to low. Add the garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
3. In a separate small pot, cook the Ramen noodles. Meanwhile, allow the sauce to continue sitting on low heat so that it will thicken a little. Stir occasionally.
4. When the noodles are done, drain and add them to the sauce, then toss until they are covered. Add optional ingredients if you are using them.
