This Stuffed Pasta With Bacon Cream Sauce Recipe is Delicious & Savory! What's On Sale (Not Alfredo)

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Thanks for watching Everyone! Did you get any deals at the grocery store this week?

[@lipstickzombie4981]

Just the bajillionth bag of chicken breasts.🤣

[@doveandolive1153]

Still working on 'clean out fridge & pantry January'😊

[@8stringmonkey]

I got an entire boneless pork loin for just over $20. I got around 18 chops (finger width thick). And a roast out of it.

[@l.c.6282]

Not a deal, but discovered that the price of chicken at my local middle eastern food grocery store is much much cheaper than what’s on offer at the regular grocery stores (in the Toronto GTA).

[@3kids2cats1dog]

Just got a pork shoulder for $15 (at the same chain you shop). Going to butcher it up, get the bone out for soup, fat for rendering (oil is expensive!), see if I can get a small roast out of it. If not then stir fry bits and pull pork?

[@MadPick]

I enjoy the "what's on sale" theme, I think it reflects the way that many of us shop. Similarly, I suppose you could do "what's at the back of the cupboard" or "what's at the bottom of the freezer."

[@EastSider48215]

Great idea!

[@dvdosterloh]

"what's at the back of the cupboard" or "what's at the bottom of the freezer." That's casserole, cream of the bottom shelf!

[@aaronhall6987]

I love how you move between the times so seemingly effortlessly. I noticed during the lockdowns that you did something similar, and I just wanted to say bravo. Your ability to simplify what seems complex into easily digestible methods and your ability to shrug off not having something perfect or what have you is so refreshing. Thanks for the great content and here's to a great year for you two and the channels.

[@johnmckenzie4639]

That looks delicious Glen. I love your loosey-goosey attitude towards the things you put in your sauce. Got mushrooms? Chuck 'em in. No mushrooms? Don’t. Garlic? Not feeling it? Leave it out. It reminds me of one of my favourite Canadian TV chefs from years ago. James Barber of The Urban Peasant. His mantra was "It's YOUR dinner!" This "what's on sale" feature is great, especially these days.

[@sandrastreifel6452]

I had a little book of James Barber’s “Ginger Tea makes friends”. Great food, great attitude.

[@rebeccaturner5503]

I am really enjoying your "Whats on Sale" and The Side of the Fridge" . I do quite a bit of menu planning as I go thru the store and see what is "marked down"

[@doveandolive1153]

Great to know that you can freeze fresh pasta, I'll know for next time when I see a sale - thanks for the tip. Really loving these 'What's on Sale' segments.

[@reginaoverton5657]

Glen, I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching you and Julie! I’m retired and have more time to cook. I make your chicken with mustard and onions a lot. Please keep making these videos!!!!

[@strongjohn10956]

I definitely shop based on what's on sale on the day. I usually start my shop in the meat/fish department where I chose protein first, then base the rest of the shop on what I need for whatever dish comes to mind.

[@jonjamesminer]

"I walk in" as he lifts the 'wok'. LOL love it.

[@lynnries7729]

Hubby scored a beautiful smoked, spiral ham for 99 cents per pound! Heated in in the slow cooker 4 hours and now have plenty of ham for...well everything. Your dish looks yummy.

[@mistythompson1398]

I am so glad I am not the only one who loves peas in cream sauce. Thanks, Glen for a wonderful idea on shopping on a budge and building a meal.

[@adelechicken6356]

Will definitely be making similar sauce for noodles, and I think small pieces of broccoli would be really good in this. I grew up cooking and shopping this way, huge garden and well stocked pantry. Love your way of teaching.

[@curtk8715]

I use the frozen sausage cheese sage ravioli a jar of spagetti sauce and some italian mix cheese. and create almost a lasagna layering the stuffed pasta, sauce and cheese like a lasagna. Turned out suprising good

[@wiiza4ever]

The close ups of the pan is nice in this video

[@michaelstevens1027]

This is the way I usually cook…what’s in the fridge, freezer and pantry. Also inspired by grocery shopping.

[@osomxl]

Yes! This is an awesome series!

[@zonacrs]

That sauce tossed with angel hair pasta would be bomb. No bacon, use bulk sausage. Wilt some spinach in the sautee or add frozen peas at the end. This is more method than a recipe and I'm grateful for it.

[@marcielston3019]

I love this type of cooking. You do it very nicely.

[@mikew1332]

Hi Glen! I used to work in video, I have my pilot's license but can't afford to fly, and I don't have nearly as much counter space as your set does. So today I found yet another reason to be envious - President's Choice. In the US we had their products in our supermarkets for a while in the '90's and then they were gone. I still miss them. I'll bet those raviolis were pretty good.

[@joeyhardin1288]

1/14/23 Thank you. God Bless and stay safe. EDIT: Eggs today $3.80 a dozen. $5.36 for 18 at W.M. Central Kentucky

[@hilarygiles6738]

We have shopped like this for years. As well, case lot shopping and an extensive pantry help as well. I do a similar take on creamy pasta and use evaporated milk instead of cream. I always have frozen chopped spinach in stock to add and use dried mushrooms as well. A few frozen shrimp or leftover chicken can pull together a quick and tasty pasta supper.

[@karenstewart8818]

In Pennsylvania, it is traditional to have pork and sauerkraut for New Year's Day. Naturally the stores will have all the pork loins and other pork products on sale the next day. We usually get four or five pork loins to freeze and then pull out as we want them. We enjoy them done in our smoker (we've smoked turkey as well) but our favorite way to prepare the pork is to brine a loin and smoke it for Canadian bacon. It never lasts beyond dinner that night when he makes one of those.

[@happybakergirl1292]

Thanks so much, Glen. I know what I'll be making for my sweetheart next month for our thirteenth wedding anniversary. I can't wait to try it. I have a feeling it will become a favorite!!! 0:49 ❤

[@darrellbedford4857]

I wish I had the imagination to put things together like you do. I love these " What's on Sale" segments.

[@EastSider48215]

I love this What’s On Sale series!

[@tednelson5277]

Whipping cream on sale is totally unknown in southern Manitoba Mennonite country. Our local Superstore in Winkler ALWAYS has an entire end aisle in the cooler section with litre whipping cream containers. If you leave without at least 2 in your cart, people tend to look sideways at you. It is not unusual to see someone grab 5 or 6 or more.

[@Anagrams458]

That's because we have so many German immigrants here, and they cook and bake with a lot of cream. Delicious but not so healthy, I'm thinking. 😉

[@sandrastreifel6452]

“It’s a method, not a recipe “ Thanks, Glen!

[@LDeeCee]

I got 2 turkeys on January 2nd, 12$ each😊, 40$ each before Christmas

[@daniellmccoy9124]

Great video Glen - you’ve made one of my favourite style of mid week meals!

[@johnlarro6872]

Growing up, this kind of cooking would have been completely foreign to me - it was meat and 5 boiled veg 6 nights a week, with a roast on Sunday. But now, this is my kind of cooking, and I love it and meal times so much more! I appreciate that you throw out these ideas to people, because fast food has become so prolific and normalised that the skill of home cooking is really on the outer. (And don't get me wrong... we still typically do at least 1 take out meal a week, more if the kids have a lot of events going on.)

[@jeffcasey504]

Really appreciate your guidance in this series. One thing I need help with is when you say 'change the spicing, make it your own'. I don't have much idea what spices go well with certain foods or how to combine- never learned these skills. Perhaps when you cook a dish you might portion it into several pots and show us different spicing, as you many times describe at your conclusion. Thanks for all your shows, including the flying and destinations (and eateries)!

[@rabidsamfan]

My mom always said "the smell is the taste" when it comes to spices. Get small containers to start with, and try out your combinations in a dish you find easy, like a burger or sloppy Joe.

[@donnamarsh3474]

This content really needed now. Thanks Glen!

[@MamaStyles]

You know what grinds my gears about Loblaws/Superstore/Zehrs …it used to be 50 off 😂 It still is on bakery,hot and cold deli and veggies but now 30 on meat. So much is thrown out in Windsor because Zehrs is considered too expensive for this blue collar town and is usually empty versus Walmart across the street. But I picked up about 30 items on 30 and 50 off today and filled my freezer.Love these videos…..

[@joyellan]

My mouth is watering. Oh man, I can't wait to try this method out.

[@mizFahrenheit]

Yum, tortellini, my favorite pasta!

[@sennest]

You always nail it for us, Glen!!😎👍👍🙏🙏

[@andrewaway]

Excellent.

[@Goggs123NK]

I made a similar dish but with spinach and mushrooms and lots of cracked black pepper and lots of cheese to go with gnocchi because that was on sale.

[@reginaoverton5657]

PS I doing Keto and so many of your recipes are easy to convert. I plan on using this recipe with spaghetti squash!!

[@sueperdue184]

That does sound good!

[@lsrx101]

I've tried spaghetti squash in red sauce and it's just...ok. In a white sauce like this, it's great. Especially if you add 1 or 2 other veggies like spinach, peas, broccoli, etc.

[@ubombogirl]

that sounds and looks absolutely divine and with no garlic...a plus for me! just have to use some gf pasta and i'm good to go! yes, some peas are always great in this kind of thing but i do like julie's idea of spinach! YUM-E!!!🥰

[@reginaoverton5657]

Love your show! So relaxing to watch!!!

[@anthonydolio8118]

Thanks.

[@Ottawa411]

I got some cubed up beef, with bones, really cheap, and a half price sour cream, and someone had given us some old green beans. I made a beef stroganoff inspired dish with rotini pasta. My wife made a soup with some stuffed pasta that was marked down. I am looking at a flyer that has lamb spine for $2.99/lb. I did some searching and found some great looking recipes for soups and stews. If I get out, I'm going to try that.

[@louanngayan984]

I’m envious of that pan! Can you share the info? Thanks!

[@shannonmccann3814]

Glenn you should see if you have flash food and Food hero in your area. They are apps that partner with groceries stores to prevent Food waste. You can score some really good deals from these apps.

[@niklaspilot]

Just when I thought "some frozen peas would go great in this", you said it out loud :D

[@marcelbouffard6537]

Could you share what brand of pasta basket you have and pasta pot? They look very handy!!!

[@COWELLGIRL]

So yummy. We had cheese ravioli today 🤩

[@sloopy5191]

I know this dish will be fannnnnntastic...because I've been using that sauce on my perogies for 30 years! Trust him, you really do want to make this!!

[@ldg2655]

That is how I like to cook!! Seat-of-your-pants! I was watching you and saying to myself “Mmm.. I’d put some peas in there…. LOL

[@petergreening4810]

Just a quick comment on the pepperoncini. Out west, I am in Washington State, pepperoncini are normally pickled and look very similar to banana peppers. I am guessing that is not the case here as your pepperoncini looked more like a salsa. Just curious. That being said this dish looks great and is something I will be trying. Now if only I can get as many sale items as you did.

[@gordonmacqueen8694]

That meal would be just as good with gnocchi - also often available on sale.

[@robjames7845]

What's on sale at the grocery today. That is very helpful to the average family trying to get by these days. Don't know if that's a thing you'll continue to do once a week, month or what have you but, it is much appreciated.

[@XaqNautilus]

I really want to try that peperoncini picanti but I can't find it in Alberta.

[@rictusbrothers]

Just wondering about (re) freezing these pasta, there is a mention "previously frozen" at the bottom right side of the package. Usually, the "rule" is to not re-freeze food. Is that a myth? Or maybe some type of food can be re-frozen without bacteria proliferation risks, or texture/flavour alteration?

[@jake2011rt]

Glen. . . What happened in that pot before you boiled the pasta?

[@col68p]

This is exactly what we do. What’s on sale what can I make with it.

I think he had a pasta break open and it was some of the filling mixed in the water

[@stevejohnson6248]

@@angelarex9497 possibly, looked like carrots. And the water was very dark.

@@angelarex9497 Yes, the ravioli have sundried tomato, so it would colour the water noticeably.

[@mikeclarke952]

I'm in Hamilton and I really love you guys and need to suggest you go down the rabbit hole of Dr Lustig, sugar, carbohydrates and the food pyramid etc. (you can find all that here on YT). I know I know that doesn't make for a great cooking channel, but maybe add a Keto or Mediterranean diet meal once a year? With love and respect.

[@LukeEdward]

Glen, is there a reason why you don’t GRATE your onion to get the flavor, but not the pieces?

[@michaelreid8857]

Sausage, Spinach, even Squash.

[@bigdaddybry]

Great dish. Don't have fresh pasta? This would work great with chicken, shrimp, sausage, etc .....or even without any protein and just use dry pasta.

[@maryobrien4415]

I found some great prices on misshaped veggies and I recently purchased a food saver and everything is processed and in the freezer. When the misshapped veggies are processed who cares. Even for stuffed peppers I was able to find several that were of a similar shape.

[@acerrubrum5749]

Yum 👍

[@TheMesosuchus]

I Have never seen a 30% off sticker (always 50%) at any Loblaws supermarket I've been to (Mostly Zehr's in ON and Superstore in NB/NS). I get those pastas all the time at 50% off.

[@3kids2cats1dog]

Ha Ha! Glen, you shop like we shop! * Know what you have * Shop the sales * Get creative! My wife and I learned this when we were students and raising a family. Enjoy the video, now what am i going to do with that pork shoulder?

[@kimberlyvarvorines4933]

I ended up needing a few things a day after Christmas, we had had a lot of snow predicted prior to so the store had a lot of things on sale. I was able to get several types of meat for 1/3 the price. Usually the day after Christmas or any holiday they put stuff on sale which is annoying because they could have had a decent price on it prior to.😞

I have garbage stickers on the fronts of my produce drawers that say “Green Waste” . My husband put them on as a joke. Could you do a series on using leftover produce in cooking?

[@janephalen396]

That is a great idea! My daughter saw online the technique of putting condiments in the produce drawers and putting the produce in the shelves on the door. I adopted this as well, and we lose much less produce this way. It is much easier to remember what I need to use up when I see it every time I open the fridge door.

[@r.b.8061]

Nice Idea - what's on sale and cook with it. For me personal I would eat it without cream. Creamsauces are not my favorite.

[@paulaolson8956]

I’ve never seen hard cheese like that on sale.

[@Jazzwhisky]

great video! peas in this? absolutely disgusting.

[@angelarex9497]

peas, broccoli, spinach,. . . no need to withold on the veggies!

[@Adit86]

Ravioli were boiled for too long and too hot. They should not explode in the water. If you simmer them gently and finish the cooking in the final sauce the filling will stay in the pasta instead of in the pot.

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

oh... mushrooms. I'm allergic to them - and ya know, there's really not a good substitute.

[@rabidsamfan]

Allergies are annoying, aren't they? Carrots for me. Part of why I like Glen's approach to what goes into (or gets left out of) a dish.

[@brothyr]

why did the pasta water look more like chicken broth?

[@joantrotter3005]

One of the ravioli broke.

[@stefanklein7500]

I usually ignore products reduced because they are near the best before date or similar. There are to many people that depend on these sales to even afford e.g. meat. Regular, advertised sales are a different topic though.

[@Kriss_L]

I thought they sold bacon in 1 lb packs because 1 lb was a single serving of bacon.

You say you are not vegetarian or vegan but you offer alternative ideas to make your dishes vegetarian or vegan. It might be interesting for non-believers if you cooked some dishes that were halal/kosher.
