Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces fettuccini pasta
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups skim milk
⅔ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cook 15 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Stir in steamed broccoli and cooked pasta. Sprinkle with parsley.
