Prego alfredo with pasta and broccoli
A quick weeknight pasta built on a jar of alfredo: you heat the sauce while the pasta cooks, add broccoli florets to finish tender, and toss everything together. The sauce does most of the work.

To buy
- 8 oz broccoli florets
From your shelf
- 14.5 oz can Prego classic alfredo sauce
Staples
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6 oz pasta
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot and salt it with 1 teaspoon. Add 6 oz pasta and stir once; cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes, then add 8 oz broccoli florets during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- While the pasta cooks, pour the 14.5 oz can of Prego alfredo sauce into a small saucepan and warm it over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until steaming.
- Drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander and return them to the pot. Pour in the warm sauce, add 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and toss gently until everything is coated.
Note Swap frozen broccoli for fresh if that is what you have. Leftovers keep in the fridge for three days; reheat gently with a splash of water. Serve with a simple green salad or garlic bread on the side.
