College Cooking with Carrie: Broccoli Alfredo

Hey there!

So tonight I am once again without money ... broke college problems. But I always make sure to have the old stand-by's in my cabinet. I found a couple of years ago that Publix usually always has some kind of pasta on bogo. So Whenever I have money I make sure to always grab some which leaves me with an insane amount of pasta in my cabinet, but it comes in handy when I'm broke.

I found that you can do a ton with pasta. Depending on the sauces you have in your fridge. Sometimes I have none and resort to buttered noodles with some Parmesan cheese (Don't knock it, till you try it, its pretty delicious. Way Better than raman.)

But back on track. I had alfredo in my fridge tonight and I rummaged through my vegetable drawer to find some good stuff in there, I came out with ... Broccoli Alfredo!

So noodles, I love the little bow ties, broccoli, an onion, and alfredo sauce.

Cut up the broccoli and onions and put water on the stove to boil.

While the noodles are starting to cook I threw the broccoli and onions into a skillet. Oil, and some minced garlic then add the veggies.

So I put the broccoli in the skillet to soak up the flavors of the garlic and onions but they still need to be cooked if you don't care for crunch broccoli. Once the noodles are almost cooked I threw the broccoli in.
