Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 can Campbell's cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Add fettuccine pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions, typically 8-10 minutes, until pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While pasta is cooking, wash and cut broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces.
- During the last 3-4 minutes of pasta cooking, add broccoli florets directly to the boiling water to blanch them.
- Drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water if needed for sauce consistency.
- In the same pot, combine Campbell's cream of mushroom soup, milk, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir over medium heat until smooth and heated through.
- Add cooked pasta and broccoli back into the sauce, gently tossing to coat evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting sauce thickness with reserved pasta water if needed.
- Serve hot, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips
- Pasta Perfection: Cook your fettuccine just until al dente to ensure it doesn't become mushy when mixed with the sauce.
- Broccoli Blanching: Adding broccoli to the pasta water in the last few minutes saves time and helps retain its bright green color and nutrients.
- Sauce Consistency: If the sauce feels too thick, use the reserved pasta water to thin it out without losing flavor.
- Cheese Upgrade: For an extra flavor boost, try using freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-packaged cheese.
- Customization: Feel free to add protein like grilled chicken or shrimp to make this dish even more substantial.
- Leftovers Tip: Store in an airtight container and reheat gently, adding a splash of milk to restore the creamy texture.
