Italian Sausage and Pasta Recipe

Homemade chicken and broccoli Alfredo!!

So amazing! The consistency of the Alfredo sauce is perfect! My 3rd time making it, and this is the best one yet! Yay!

[Sorry for lack of updates!! I’m on instagram all the time, lol. I’ll post my instagram photos here too!]

For the simple easy alfredo sauce:

Ingredients: Alfredo Sauce

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup butter [unsalted]
• 1 clove garlic, crushed

Directions

1. Heat a pan up and add the butter and garlic.
2. Melt the butter
3. Once butter is melted, add in heavy cream
4. Whisk constantly until cream is warm/hot
5. DON’T boil the cream and butter!!
6. Once hot, add cheese and whisk until completely melted
7. Add salt and pepper to taste!
8. Serve with pasta and anything you want!

The sauce will be thick! Soo good! If you want to thin it out, save 1/4 or 1/2 or 3/4 cup of pasta water [before you strain the pasta, save some water] until you get the consistency you want.

I added chopped chicken and broccoli, so delish!

Spaghetti and meatballs with green beans for dinner!

I had previously froze a batch of meatballs in the freezer and thawed them out for tonight’s dinner. This was a super easy and delicious meal. Simple yet yummy. :)

The pasta can be substituted with any pasta of your choice, like whole grain or zucchini squash pasta! I used regular pasta. The sauce was a jarred sauce (I really want to make my own soon). All topped with parmesan cheese. The beans were flash boiled, so they still have their green color and some crunch to it, added a little unsalted butter and salt/pepper to it :).
