Easy weeknight meal, Pasta with Broccolette.

I have not been spending much time in the kitchen lately. Sad but true. Something about being pregnant has left me with little to no desire to cook!!! But I have realized that we cannot simply live off of take out and sandwich’s….With that being said, I am making EASY and FAST delicious meals so….enjoy!

Take 1 small shallot chopped, and 1 handful of pine nuts and saute in a little olive oil salt and pepper, then add about a half a stick of butter to your pan and melt. Add 1 cup of cream and let melt all together. Now turn off heat and get some water boiling. Oh and add a pinch of nutmeg to that sauce:)

I bought some organic broccolini from Costco the other day and thought to add some to my pasta. So I cut the ends to make them more of a bite size and then put a big handful of them into my boiling water, just boil until tender you don''t want them to soft since they will cook in your sauce:)

Now add the broccolette to your sauce and cook on med-low heat. Add your fettuccine or I used a basil garlic fettuccine I found at trader Joe's and boil until cooked.

Now to your pan add your pasta....

Then add a cup of shredded Parmesan cheese....

Finally add 1 more cup of heavy cream:):) Mix all the goodness together and once its looking perfectly combined ..add a bit of salt and pepper and then...

Eat....yum...happy..

Much, much better then take out...
