Bow Ties and Broccoli Alfredo

My kids love Broccoli and Bow Ties in Alfredo Sauce. Easy to make, and quite tasty. Here is an easy recipe my son Caden and I make together.

Preparation:

16 oz bag of Broccoli or Fresh Cut Broccoli
1lb of Bow Ties Pasta
Dad's Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Prepare the Alfredo Sauce first in a separate Medium Sized Sauce Pan

Ingredients

1 Pint Heavy Cream

1/2 stick of butter

8 oz Fresh Parmesan Cheese ( Or 4 oz Asiago and 4 oz of Parmesan)

Cracked Pepper

In a medium saucepan, add the heavy cream and butter. Slowly, add the Parmesan cheese. Bring the ingredients to a thick consistency over a medium heat. Remove and let settle.  A sprig of cracked pepper on top adds to the flavor After 10 minutes, you can add the mixture to pasta.
In a separate 4 quart pan, prepare the bow tie pasta according to the directions. (Do not forget the salt for boiling as bow ties easily will stick together)

In a skillet, add the Bow Ties, Broccoli, and Alfredo Sauce together. Bring the Alfredo to a soft boil to ensure that the broccoli will be steamed to perfection. (Roughly 10-15 minutes until the broccoli is tender)

Serve in a bowl. Provide some fresh cracked pepper and parmesan cheese of top and enjoy!
