Cooking with Miracle Whip Salad Dressing (Kraft) is a little newer than I usually go. It's from 1983. But I couldn't help wondering about that big plate of pasta on the cover.
Is that Miracle Whip fettuccine? And if so, why? (Well, that second answer is obvious. This is a Miracle Whip pamphlet, after all.)
So is this an attempt to make Fettuccine Alfredo with Miracle Whip? Not quite. It's possibly even more controversial...
As if there's not already enough debate about what constitutes carbonara, this version skips past the debate of cream or no cream and uses Miracle Whip plus milk instead. I highly doubt anyone would bother wasting their breath protesting the choice of bacon rather than guanciale with this one!
As if that pastatrocity isn't enough, the same page with the carbonara also offers a Miracle-Whippy lasagna variation.
I am fine with subbing in cottage cheese for ricotta if that's cheaper/ easier, but Miracle Whip? And I can't help noticing how gluey-looking that bottom layer is.
Under a layer of canned dog food. Woof!
So in short, for Miracle Whip's 50th anniversary, Kraft wanted to let everyone know that Miracle Whip makes a fine addition to pasta. I think they would have been better off making themselves a Miracle Whip Chocolate Cake and calling it a day...
