Penne Alfredo

 

 

I started with boiling some Penne noodles. 

 

 

 

In another pan I sautéed in 2TBS of butter some red and yellow peppers, onions, and mushrooms.   I added some salt, pepper.  When the veggies were soft and translucent I added this to the penne noodles and let it sit while I made the Alfredo Sauce. 

 

I added a stick of butter to the pan and melted it. When the butter was melted I added 2 cup of heavy cream and 3 cups of Parmesan cheese.   I added some more salt and pepper and some other seasonings I like.  You can add them or others you like if you don’t like or have the ones below.

(paprika, garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning and oregano

 

 

 

 I combined the penne noodles to the Alfredo sause and tossed.

When the Alfredo sauce I added to the Penne noodles was warm I add some fresh peas and chopped ham.  I kept it on medium heat until it was hot through.  You can add it all to a bake safe dish and top the Penne Alfredo with the cheese or a sprinkle of some bread crumbs of your choice and put it in the oven for a little bit if you like.  If it seems too dry add a little more cream.  There should be plenty left for lunches or dinners for the week.

 

 Enjoy
