Quick Alfredo Pasta With Vegetables Recipes

EASY CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• In a large pot cook fettuccini or linguini pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium-low heat add cubed cooked chicken, mushrooms, Alfredo sauce, frozen vegetables, and milk. Cook until heated through.
• Serve warm Alfredo sauce over cooked fettuccini or linguini noodles.

QUICK ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the flour and garlic salt into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth. Slowly beat the half and half into the sauce until completely incorporated. Stir the garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese into the sauce, whisking continually. Bring the sauce to a simmer; cook, stirring regularly, until the sauce has thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Use immediately or refrigerate.

QUICK AND EASY ALFREDO SAUCE

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.

FETTUCINE ALFREDO WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to package directions, or if you're inclined to do so, make your own. Prepare fresh broccoli to be cooked. I always leave mine somewhat firm. When noodles are done drain well.
• Prepare your other veggies...dice tomato neatly and chop up green onion. If using fresh garlic, chop that up too.
• For the sauce, melt butter/margarine first. I use Best Life buttery spread as it has no trans fat or hydrogenated oils. Then add in cream cheese and garlic. Keep heat on low to medium and stir constantly unless it will burn. Add in sour cream and milk and wait until everything is well melted together before adding cheese. Once cheese is thoroughly melted, add in pepper to taste and a splash of lemon. Serve immediately.
• Pile noodles on plate or in bowl...toss on broccoli and then cover with sauce. Sprinkle diced tomato and green onion on top. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice on and garnish with cheese. Yum!

PENNE ALFREDO WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Melt butter in another skillet over medium heat; cook and stir flour in melted butter until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually whisk half-and-half and milk into flour mixture until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning into cream sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes, spinach, and onion mixture; simmer until heated through.
• Pour vegetable sauce over pasta and toss to coat.

QUICK ALFREDO PASTA WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cut vegetables into bite size pieces and steam if not already cooked (or saute sliced mushrooms in butter with a pinch of salt).
• Place large pot of salted water on to boil. When it boils, cook your favourite pasta according to directions. Drain.
• Meanwhile, while waiting for the water to boil, melt butter in a small pot on medium low heat. Add flour and stir. Keep stiring until the flour starts to brown a little, about 3 or 4 minutes. Add milk, two or three tablespoons at a time and mix quickly. As it thickens and becomes smooth, add a little more. Keep doing this until all milk is used. Add more than 1 cup if needed. Add parmesan, garlic powder and onion salt, stirring frequently as the parmesan melts.
• By this time your pasta should be cooked and just drained. Toss pasta onto a plate or into a bowl, top with warm vegetables and drizzle with cheese sauce.
• Garnish with a little chopped parsley if desired.

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions, then reserve 2 cups of the pasta water and drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, scatter in the mushrooms. Cook, without stirring, until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir and continue to cook until well browned, about 2 minutes more. Add the Brussels sprouts and scallions. Season with salt and the red pepper flakes. Cook and toss until the leaves are wilted but still bright green, about 3 minutes.
• Add another 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Make a space in the middle and add the tomato paste and sliced garlic. Cook and stir until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the pasta water and bring to a rapid simmer. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the oat milk and remaining 1 tablespoon oil, bring to a simmer and stir to combine. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce, adding the remaining pasta water, as needed, if it seems dry. (You may not need all of the pasta water.) Serve with torn basil.
