Broccoli Mushroom Alfredo Pasta
Description
Broccoli Mushroom Alfredo Pasta starts with cooking pasta just until slightly under al dente, so it can finish softening in the sauce. Mushrooms quartered and sautéed in light olive oil develop a golden brown exterior while retaining moisture. Broccoli florets and garlic parsley salt are added to continue cooking with the mushrooms.
Whipping cream is stirred in and brought to a boil, creating a rich, smooth sauce. Parmesan cheese adds a sharp, nutty element when combined with the cream and vegetables. The cooked pasta is folded into the sauce, soaking up the creamy mixture to create a cohesive dish with balanced textures.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb pasta
- 1 lb mushrooms
- 1/2 lb broccoli
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 cup whipping cream
- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil light
- 3 garlic optional, cloves
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients for the dish. Optionally, add garlic. Cook pasta per package inductions. Keep it a bit undercooked to keep the texture.
- On an oiled skillet, dice mushrooms into quarters and sautee until golden brown. Add in broccoli and garlic salt.
- Stir in cream and bring it to a boil. Press in garlic and add parmesan cheese.
- Stir in cooked pasta. It may seem like there is a lot of sauce, but pasta will absorb a lot of it, making it perfectly creamy.
