QUICK PENNE ALFREDO & CHEESE



Quick Penne Alfredo & Cheese image

Yeah! I know how to make "real" mac & cheese. But this is so good and simple that I can't justify the work. I hope you try this and put your own spin on it. You could add broccoli, ham or a host of other goodies!

Provided by AllThingsCooking

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces penne or 8 ounces your favorite pasta, cooked al dente
1 (16 ounce) jar alfredo sauce (like Bertolli)
8 ounces assorted cheese, like cheddar, Monterey jack, Swiss (or so!)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the hot pasta, Alfredo sauce, cheese (reserve a little to sprinkle on top) and heat gently over low heat or bake at 375 until bubbly!
  • Feel free to add any of the following: grilled chicken, broccoli, cubed ham, roasted veggies, bread crumb topping, shrimp--hatever you like!
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your Alfredo penne will taste. Use high-quality Parmesan cheese, fresh cream, and freshly chopped parsley.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help the pasta hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Make sure the Alfredo sauce is thick and creamy: The Alfredo sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir. If the sauce is too thin, add more Parmesan cheese or butter. If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk or cream.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Serve immediately: Alfredo penne is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Alfredo penne is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks. With a few simple tips, you can make Alfredo penne that is sure to impress your friends and family.
