CHICKEN BROCCOLI AND ZITI ALFREDO

Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat.
- Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth.
- Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps.
- Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency.
- Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.
- ENJOY.
Tips:
- To make the Alfredo sauce, use high-quality Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan will give the sauce a richer flavor than pre-packaged or shredded cheese.
- If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute milk or half-and-half. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
- To prevent the sauce from curdling, add the Parmesan cheese slowly, stirring constantly.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or shrimp in your Ziti Alfredo. Just be sure to heat the chicken or shrimp through before adding it to the sauce.
- Ziti Alfredo is a great dish to serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Ziti Alfredo is a classic Italian-American dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The creamy Alfredo sauce is made with Parmesan cheese, butter, and heavy cream, and it coats the pasta perfectly. Ziti Alfredo can be served with chicken, shrimp, or vegetables, and it's a great dish to serve for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
