Today I tried something new but quite simple: shrimp fettuccine alfredo with broccoli. I had seen it in a magazine and thought I would try it out. Obviously, it is just your normal fettuccine alfredo plus the added bonus of huge delicious shrimps and broccoli. I had a long day so I was excited to come home and cook this excellent meal.
Although it was quite excellent and tasty, I had one disappointment: the alfredo sauce. I didn't feel like buying the pre-made sauce so I made it from the Knorr Alfredo sauce envelope. Albeit their sauce envelopes are usually very good, this one was a miss. I followed the directions exactly but the result was a liquidy sauce at best. It think the recipe on the back calls for too much milk, thus the reason for the very liquid texture of the "alfredo sauce". It was quite a disappointment since it's what ties the whole dish together, but I was still able to appreciate the goodness of the shrimp-broccoli-fettuccine. Next time I make this dish, I will definitely buy the real stuff for the Alfredo sauce. It will be a much better outcome, of that I am sure.
Recipe:
Fettuccine pasta
