Ingredients
Pasta and Veggies
- 12 oz fettuccine
- 12 oz broccoli florets bought bagged (or cut up at home)
Alfredo Sauce
- 1/2 cup (4oz, 1 stick) butter
- 2 cups half and half*
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 cup (3oz) shredded Parmesan cheese plus more for topping
Instructions
Pasta and Veggies
- Cook fettuccine according to package instructions in a large pot of generously salted water. Add broccoli during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking time and cook until done. Drain, return to pot, and set aside.
Alfredo Sauce
- While your pasta cooks, melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add half and half and stir. Allow to come to a simmer and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced. Watch closely and do not allow to come to a full boil.
- Add garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and Parmesan. Pour sauce over noodles and toss to coat.
- Serve and sprinkle with more Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- *You can substitute 1 1/3 cup low-fat milk and 2/3 cup heavy cream for half and half.
- This pasta is best eaten immediately, but leftovers can be greatly improved if you add a splash of milk or half and half and a small sprinkle of Parmesan (about a tablespoon of each per serving) before reheating and stir together once warm.
