Quick Fettuccine and Broccoli Alfredo image

This is a go-to dinner in my house. You can have the entire family eating within 30 minutes, and it's fun to get the kids involved in the cooking. You can switch out the pasta for another long cut like linguine, bucatini or angel hair. And you can sub cauliflower florets or baby carrots for broccoli; just be sure to adjust the steaming time.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fettuccine
4 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 clove garlic
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Romano
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
Chopped Italian parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente, 8 to 11 minutes. While the pasta cooks, place a steamer basket over the pot and place the broccoli in the basket. Cover and steam until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Grate the half clove of garlic with a rasp grater into the butter and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Stir in the cream, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the Romano and Parmesan, stirring until melted; the sauce will thicken. Turn off the heat and set aside until the pasta is done.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of cooking liquid. Add the drained pasta to the cream sauce and stir until well coated. If the sauce seems too thick, stir in some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid to thin it until it coats the pasta well. Fold in the broccoli. Garnish with parsley and more Parmesan.

FETTUCCINE WITH BROCCOLI RABE, TOMATOES AND RICOTTA



Fettuccine with Broccoli Rabe, Tomatoes and Ricotta image

Categories     Garlic     Leafy Green     Pasta     Tomato     Sauté     High Fiber     Ricotta     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6 as first course or 4 as main course

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches broccoli rabe , cut into 1-inch pieces
12 ounces spinach fettuccine
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, diced
4 anchovy fillets, drained, chopped
6 ounces ricotta salata (dried ricotta) or feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add broccoli rabe and cook until stalks are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Using 4- to 5-inch-diameter strainer, transfer to large bowl. Return water in pot to boil. Add pasta and boil until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add half of garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes; cook until very soft, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add anchovies and remaining garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add broccoli rabe; sauté 2 minutes. Add pasta and reserved cooking liquid and toss to heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon pasta onto plates. Spoon tomato mixture around. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh broccoli, good quality fettuccine, and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is bright green and tender, but still slightly crunchy. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta, but not too thick that it is difficult to stir. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Ricotta fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become less creamy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Ricotta fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy sauce, tender broccoli, and flavorful fettuccine come together to create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better.
