A much lighter pasta Alfredo recipe that's packed with veggies and flavor, but tastes as good as the original.

Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be. Use fresh vegetables, quality pasta, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking the pasta until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the sauce.
  • Make the sauce creamy and smooth: Use a combination of butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese to create a creamy and smooth sauce. Don't let the sauce boil, as this can cause it to curdle.
  • Add flavor to the sauce: You can add flavor to the sauce by using garlic, onion, herbs, or other spices. Be careful not to add too much, as you don't want to overpower the delicate flavor of the Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately after it is made. This will help prevent the sauce from separating or becoming too thick.

Conclusion:

Linguine Alfredo is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
