Quick Alfredo Pasta With Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add carrot; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add zucchini; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until just tender. Add garlic; cook and stir 30 seconds. Add flour, salt, pepper, nutmeg and pepper flakes; cook and stir 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Add spinach; stir until wilted. Remove from heat; stir in cheeses until melted. Stir in pasta; pour mixture into pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly around edges and heated through. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in 3-inch skillet, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add bread crumbs; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Sprinkle over baked pasta.

Steps:

• Place cream cheese, milk and butter in medium saucepan. Cook on low heat until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring frequently.
• Meanwhile, cook vegetables in large saucepan of boiling water 2 min. Add pasta; cook an additional 3 min. Drain. Place in large serving bowl.
• Add Parmesan cheese and black pepper to cream cheese sauce; mix well. Add to pasta mixture; mix lightly.

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.

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.
