Easy Vegetable Alfredo
Add broccoli and carrots to creamy fettuccine Alfredo for an easy pasta dinner with vegetables. You can also substitute vegetables your family likes or add cooked chicken for a heartier meal.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. fettuccine noodles
- 1 small package frozen broccoli
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 (10 oz.) container prepared Alfredo sauce or homemade Alfredo sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- Parmesan cheese, for serving
- Cooked diced chicken, optional
Directions
- Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions.
- Add the broccoli and chopped carrots during the last few minutes of cooking so they cook along with the pasta.
- Meanwhile, prepare or warm the Alfredo sauce.
- Drain the pasta and vegetables.
- Stir in the Alfredo sauce and pepper.
- Add cooked diced chicken, if desired.
- Warm everything together and serve with Parmesan cheese.
Try Different Vegetables: Use vegetables you already have on hand. Peas, spinach, zucchini or other family favorites can be substituted for the broccoli and carrots.
Kid Cooking Tip: Kids can help measure ingredients, prepare vegetables at their skill level and stir the finished pasta with the sauce. An adult should supervise the boiling water and draining.
